[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] Alas, the US is far from the Utopian proto(for you, Omega)-egalitarian society that The Declaration of Independence and The Bill of Rights outlined. We have come far closer, though, than when these documents were drafted. It may seem, particularly of late, that we are falling quite short of those guiding principles. (Assassinating our own leaders, funding private wars to suit our own interests, covering up scandals, not being popularly elected and somehow still being president anyway, etc.) We have, however made progress towards our ideals, and despite the transgressions of our ever-so imperfect leaders, our society [i]is[/i] moving towards the goals set down in those documents 200+ years ago. (Slavery was abolished, women can vote, non-discrimination laws are standard, etc.) As an American I remain proud of these ideals, and of the noble American women and men who have lived up to them in our brief history.
