Lighter Skin = Better?

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.

Well, I don't see it happening any other way, being colonists, from many different ethnicities, along with a bunch of slaves and natives on your back, I can't see them creating a state that derives its history and consciousness on any of the known, established nations on the earth.

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 the nation of illiterate and uneducated farmers rebelled against England at the height of their power and took Independence and Liberty for themselves.

Being far away from the troubles of Europe, not stricken with endless war, only dealing with a few natives who did not have the advantage of a supply of colonists from the old world, who had weapons of iron.

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.

A constitution that is consistent with you, indeed.

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.

I see, though I believe that most of the ones you've mentioned there were in actuality "freed peasants" in their own way, since they had no obligation to serve a landlord in exchange for the right to stay.

Because our forefathers and mothers were people without airs and laziness, with determination and grit.

As were mine. Though I cannot see any of these applying now to land of Burger King, Mc Donalds, and the said means of pursuing happiness in forms of drugs, lax sexual relations and of course, consumerism. Obviously your foundation was flawed, as you took in more and more people who came there for the sake of their selfish desires, such as those who rejected their own national identity for simply higher living standards, those who have traded their own names for your names, those who have traded their own history and culture for your non-existent, artificial and put together culture.
As I have said in a different thread, you even refuse to grand health care to your less fortunate countrymen, for many of you are unwilling to part with their wealth, for that is what your country teaches their citizens....

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.

Revel in these days, as the world has seen many empires come and go, and I believe that your end will be a very painful one, as the only glue that holds you together is "the pursuit of happiness". But once happiness is gone(and it just might, friend), what will you do? What will hold you together?
