In 1776 our great nation declared independence from Great Britain. The 13 American colonies banded together during the American Revolution, ultimately telling Great Britain, "We think you're being a real controlling bitch, and we need a separation"...or something to that effect. Probably the most well known phrase in the Declaration of Independence:
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.
What does this mean for us as Americans? We are entitled to all the richness that life has to offer. The opportunities to do what we want with what we've got. The responsibility to utilize our God-given talents in order to improve not only our lives, but the lives of those around us. Our great nation thrives because our freedoms allow us to pursue our talents, our dreams. We must celebrate our diversity. We must celebrate the bounty this land has to offer. We must celebrate our freedom. We must celebrate our Independence.
