“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.”

A sweet ride

I've gotten another set of images back from Wal-Mart. Here's a portion of one of them. It's my dad's 1972 Plymouth Duster sitting in the driveway at the house in Virginia.
That was a really nice car. I wouldn't mind having it today as a daily driver.
We all thought the color was a weird choice, but I still loved the car.

 | Come to think of it, this is the car I learned to drive in. I also got my first speeding ticket in this car.
It wasn't a performance model or anything, but it was a lot of fun and I always loved the looks. I hope I can dig up a few more pictures of it. |
