[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] [QUOTE] 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. [/QUOTE]The man who wrote that was a slave owner, as were most of the 'founding fathers'; the United States also only freed its slaves in 1865 (The Emancipation Proclamation only applied to slaves in the CSA and was mainly designed to keep us out of the war)- this was 32 years *after* the rest of the civilised world (or the British Empire as it was then known :D ) did so. Also, when the people of the south attempted to break away from the US so that they could live their lives the way they wanted, the US brutally crushed them (Please note I am most decidedly against slavery I'm just making the point that the US isn't quite as nice as it's made out to be) [/QB][/QUOTE]
