If you have not read the Declaration of Independence, you should take a few minutes and read it over slowly and thoughtfully. It has a lot to say, and it also has something not said. It is the ‘not said’ that people do not understand or want to understand.
"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," does not say that all men will remain equal. Each person is responsible for individual life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
Some choose to do little or nothing and they get little or nothing. Others become educated and apply hard work and dedication to reaching individual happiness. At the time of the Declaration there were obstacles that prevented some from opportunities, but today we have overcome most of the road blocks and are improving everyday.
Today, everyone has the opportunity to get more education, and apply skills and knowledge to gain experience that will lead to a more comfortable individual life while enhancing the community and the country.
It is time for all to say, "I was born equal, but it is up to me to stay equal."
