I think you all should look more closely at American History. Yes, WE were founded on words like "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness", but our constituion and the laws following also made it clear that those un-alienable rights were only available to white males who owned property. If you look hard and scratch bellow the surface you find that this country has never been about freedom for everyone, it's been about freedom for the ruling class to do whatever they deem necessary for their own good. It's a shame, but it's true.
