Don't expect me to help or care because I won't and I don't. Don't bother me with your problems. I have problems of my own."
Isn't that the way it is today(mostly) in the USA? How not? Pockets of people who feel otherwise are derided,ridiculed and ignored. Was it always this way and those words in the Preamble were just boilerplate and didn't mean anything? Aren't words supposed to mean something? less

Do you have a portable copy too? Do you carry it with you? My copy is just the one in the Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language and I must say it is rather too heavy a book to carry with me.

Where they say "ALL"" they didn't mean it. It did not include African Americans, Indentured Servants or Women . So this country was founded on prejudice and to this day we have been faithful to it. Why?
