silverflight8Happy birthday, America.
May you never forget your first Declaration, especially the iconic second line: "We hold that these truths are self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." And the other sentence: "[Governments] derive their just powers from the consent of the governmed [to protect these rights]." For all of your citizens, America, not just the ones your founding fathers preferred.
