COT: Looking objectively, there is no better place to have been born in history of the world than in America right now. That means we’ve been given an advantage many others didn’t have. Appreciate that fact but also view it as a responsibility to do good for yourself and for others because of the advantages you’ve gotten. Also, keep in mind that the people that signed the Declaration of Independence did so a great personal risk. Often, doing important things requires some measure of personal risk. Embrace it and do it. And happy birthday America!

Let’s not take for granted what we have in this country. Until 250 years ago, nobody ever had what we have.
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.
