Individual Liberty — Individual Responsibility

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.”

Thursday in Tennessee Open Trackbacks

This open trackbacks post is for May 3, 2007.

I'm posting it a lot earlier than usual, because I'm three time zones away from my normal posting location. The flight(s) were pretty decent, although we got into Denver about 15 minutes after they started boarding my plane to Nashville. It was a quick rush to change planes, and I was one of the last four or five people to board. Five minutes after I was in my seat we were in the air. I'm amazed that my luggage changed planes with me.

After landing in Nashville, my mother picked me up at the airport and we drove for another three and a half hours to get to Seveirville. So now the part of the world I'm in thinks it's 3 hours later than the part of the world I'm usually in, and I have to get up three hours earlier than usual tomorrow. In the morning we're going over to the hospice to visit my grandmother.

If you have something interesting you'd like to share, feel free to link it here and leave a trackback.

Just remember the trackback policy.

The world is filled with sick puppies.

In his email, he did not ask for a new wife or a penis-pump or anything at all. He merely wanted to share with us his misery in not being able to complete a phone call.
