I disagree with the premise that there is little binding that holds us together. I hope we all still consider the Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness to be of the same high importance as Founding Fathers did.

- carsongross 11y agoThat isn't the case anymore, and it is becoming less the case as time goes on. Life? Sure, but every country at least pays lip service to that now. Pursuit of happiness? A pretty, but vacuous concept. Liberty? The only concept of the bunch with any teeth, and, since the Irish, German and Jewish immigrations of the 1800's, a concept in decline. America is no longer a nation, rather it is a multi-ethinic empire, held together by force and historical momentum.
