“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.”

Wandering about the web today, I ran across this little quizlet. Since I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my copy of book seven, I thought I'd give it a try...
Which HP Kid Are You?
It's too bad they don't really have a character that I fit...

Stanford Matthews responded with:
 | I am not well acquainted with the Harry Potter series. I filled out a survey to find out who my character is. Since the character is played by Gary Oldman, I don't have a problem with it.
So is being Sirius Black a bad thing? :-) |
Perri Nelson responded with:
 | Only if you don't like being imprisoned in Azkaban for 12 years for a murder you didn't commit, and then having to live in hiding after escaping, only to be killed in a tragic accident while trying to save the life of your godson. |
Wild Bill responded with:
 | I'm the ugly Harry Potter kid, which ever one that is. ;) |
Stanford Matthews responded with:
| Right up to the tragic accident thing it sounds like my life alright. Substitute 'wife' for 'prison' and the timeline is correct. Hmmm. Hiding? Let's just say I avoided her like the plague.
It figures though, because I like the actor and the name sounded cool. |
