I'm a member of a people that has created and tore down empires. I look back on these, and take pride, and it motivates me to drive our legacy even further. What do you have, friend?
I'm a member of a people that started a new country unlike any seen among the human species. Based on the idea that all men are created equal and have the unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Led in these ideas by great men, our Founding Fathers, who knew Greek and Latin, people who had read Plato and Aristotle in Greek, who had read Seneca and Cicero in Latin. Who studied the principles of Greek democracy. Men who were scientists, printers, editors, writers, journalists, politicians, inventors. Among who one discovered the electric nature of lightning. And it was because of these great men of extraordinary abilities that a nation of illiterate and uneducated farmers rebelled against England at the height of her power and took Independence and Liberty for themselves.
Men who constructed the currently oldest Constitution in use today. And you know why it is? Because it tells us to govern ourselves, to express our uniqueness, and to find our own happiness.
It has freed the peasants. In this world there is nothing more powerful than freed peasants. You will always get your ass kicked by them. And they all got their asses kicked by us. The Germans, Mexicans, Russians, Nazis, Fascists, Communists.
Because our forefathers and mothers were people without airs and laziness, with determination and grit.
People that changed the world and that even today, over 40 years later, is the only country to see their own countrymen walk on the face of the moon itself.
