Notes From
The Editor
IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
the unanimous Declaration of
the thirteen United States of
America.
When in the Course of
human events it becomes
necessary for one people to
dissolve the political bands
which have connected
them with another and
to assume among the
powers of the earth, the
separate and equal station to which
the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them,
a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that
they should declare the causes which impel them to the
separation.
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. — That to secure these
rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That
whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive
of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to
abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its
foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in
such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their
Safety and Happiness.
These are the beginnings of the some 1,450 word
document that created America. This is the document
that many Americans have fought and died for to continue
to give our country freedom. These are the words that
so many thousands of men and women have willing, and
who continue willing, to go into harms way to protect our
freedom and rights. Let’s not forget what the Fourth of
July is all about. The Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God!
Our unalienable rights among these Life, Liberty and the
pursuit of Happiness. God Bless America. God protect
those, of many faiths and racest that are in harms way
today while we celebrate our Country’s founding and our
freedom.
We dedicate this issue to all the people of the world and
the respect for all these people. I hope you enjoy the
stories that we bring to you and want to thank everyone of
our readers and advertisers for making this issue possible.
We love our town, the place where we have chosen to live,
and the freedom to write the words that we present to you.
