“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.”

Besides software development, blogging, and drag racing, I also like to play computer games. In particular, I like to play the Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game known as Runescape. My son Lucas introduced me to this game a few years back. We both made friends with a player by the name of EddieG888.
Well, it's been a few years since that particular account played the game, but strangely enough, we met in real life, at the track. Our Runescape friend turned out to be the son of someone I raced against at the track. While I was at the track today, I took video of his dad's car... Here it is.
It's a small world, even online.
