"...funny"

America is an idea. A shared dream. One based on the Constitution. Something most have never read,…like the Bible. Yet have rather profoundly strong opinions about.  As a public service here’s our Constitution,…all seven words. 

“Life Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”.

These particular words almost didn’t make it. They were saved from the cutting room floor by Jefferson. A slave holder who valued such things. Dramatically contradictory, that’s us in a nutshell. 

We’re an imperfect, but evolving republic. If you catch America at the right moment. When we’re not burning crosses or books.  We’re a pretty decent folk. We’d rather that children elders the sick, and even sometimes the poor were safe fed, and warm. 

…We’re funny this way.
