Star Spangled Banner?

        "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and
to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with
liberty and justice for all."
        The following views are not a bashing of the United States, but are 
meant to show the imperfections that this great nation has. This country is 
without a doubt the greatest, but it could be much better...
        The United States government is a so called "democracy". Although it 
seems the government is the one controlling everything, hiding everything and
becoming worse everyday. Is there actually "liberty and justice for all?" Many
ethnic groups have had to fight hard for "liberty and justice", it wasn't 
given to them as the sentence infers. We the people had to fight the over
powering government to get simple freedoms. 
        I also find the opening paragraph of the declaration of independence 
also very amusing... "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 compel them to the separation." Many different views can be taken
out of this passage. One could say that the 13 colonies formed a nation and 
fought the British, or one could say that the people had to fight the 
government to get their own freedom. The latter is more correct. Once again 
the PEOPLE were forced to fight the government who is supposed to be 
representing them. It seems that we the people have to fight for the basic
freedoms that we should have.
        This fight is not over, we can still fight this ignorant government
and put it back in the hands of the people where it rightfully belongs. Maybe
in time, the "American Dream" of freedom will be spread across this country
dissolving the government thus I shall leave you with this one line to 
think about. It is a line that exemplifies the ideals and thoughts of the 
American Anarchists Alliance.
        "That this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom-and that 
government of the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth."
-Abraham Lincoln (Gettysburg Address)
