For those we lost, We will not forget 09/11/2001 “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
— The Continental Congress, July 4, 1776

“The task of statesmanship has always been the re-definition of these rights in terms of a changing and growing social order.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt (Commonwealth Club Address, 1932)

“Roosevelt was wrong! The principles laid down in the Declaration of Independence are the principles of individual liberty. Our unalienable rights, given to us by God are given to us as individuals. Our rights do not come from society or the government, and they cannot be redefined by politicians. The nature of these rights carries with it the implication of individual responsibility, without which we surrender them.”

Pathetic - just pathetic

I haven't written about the Seahawks this season. They haven't done too badly, taking first place in their division last week. That is, they haven't done too badly until today.

Today's game was a rematch of the 2005 super bowl. That was a disappointing game, and a lot of Seahawk fans thought that bad officiating cost the team the world championship.

The Seahawks certainly didn't play like a championship team today. The defense started out well, but the offense was lackluster. Ultimately the defense was worn down and Seattle went into the locker room down seven at the half.

The third quarter was horrible. Despite major penalties the Steelers managed to hold onto the ball for ten minutes and 110 offensive yards.

Deion Branch left the game early. Shawn Alexander's longest rush for the entire game was 8 yards. The Steelers completely shut out the Seahawks, 21 to nothing.

The game ended on a Pittsburgh kneeldown.

What a waste of a morning for Seahawk fans.
