The real meaning of July 4: Power belongs to the people
07/01/05
As an American by choice rather than birth, I must confess to my growing concern that the 1776 declaration may not mean what it once did to those keepers of the trust who inhabit government today. July 4 serves as a frank invitation to consider the conditions and ideas that launched the promise of America. What was it that provoked an assortment of dissatisfied and rebellious colonists to organize such a nation? For over two centuries their dream has served to define freedom for the rest of the world. How can we recapture the purity of that vision today?
