A Thinking Reed

"Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed" – Blaise Pascal

Happy birthday, America

Just a short re-cap:

  • All men (heck, let’s say “people”) – created equal
  • Those people – they’ve got rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
  • And the government? Its job is to protect those rights
  • The government ultimately answers to the people
  • Judging by the way our leaders act, and what we go along with, it seems that it’s hard to keep all this in our heads, so I thought reducing it to a few bullet points would be helpful.

    Everybody got that? Cool.
