241

Vera Cruz Times

Today we, the entire planet (and not only US), should celebrate a landmark that changed the life of all and every human being in the world since then: the execution of a one single page document consolidating the plan to start a new world order, on that 4t July 1776.

This is the 241th time we do this and we hope to do it forever.

Since 1776 we come together to discuss the work of the founding fathers, mainly the neighbourgs Thomas Jefferson and John Adams.

T. Jefferson left a comprehensive philosophical and political work that should be mandatory study since kindergarten until the burial of every and all citizens that believe to reside in a democractic nation (not only US).

Setting aside all divergences that leaded to a clown in the White House, this is a moment to reflect and praise to one of the most beautiful and precise documents in the Human History.

We actually paid much attention to the preamble, "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". But sometimes we forget other parts or the entire document and how rich and keen are the guidelines left to us by the founding fathers.

Today, 4th July, we celebrate Liberty, Life and the pursuit of Happiness.

Let that be our reason of existence, allowing us to work for Liberty during all other days and celebrate it in at least one single day.

In one word, we should say only, thank you!
