Hi


It strikes me that a fair bit of what you quoted was designed to appeal to people's emotions and ideals, to garner support for this daring and brave move, this change of government. Every political step forward needs such froth, the bs that convinces so many to fall in line behind the central idea, and give it enough support to enable it to be put into effect.

Things like inalienable rights forever, all humans born equal, these are the things of popularity seeking, the bs that people so love to believe in. It might be bull but it sure gets support... for almost anything really.

Why do they so love it? Not sure, perhaps because they dont see it is that way in the world but so wish it were. Perhaps because they want to feel equal to those that seem to manage to outwit them, outpossess them, and pretty much outeverything them. But now I'm guessing.


Regards, Lava!
