Just a Thought for FAMILY on Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness

Posted by locke on November 19, 2006 at 20:20:17

When the original words "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" were penned, it was "Life, Liberty, and the right to own property."

Later these values were enthroned in the Declaration of Independence with happiness inserted because, at that time, the African-Americans were not allowed to own property.

Seems that all the properties owned by the FAMILY are in the name of the old dysfunctional leadership; and then there is the former leadership who "inherited" property and left the Cult to take ownership.

Property ownership is singular to them and highly valued.

Either way, the rank and file members don't seem to own property and are content to be serfs in the name of religion.

Life to is too short to live out of a backpack, really....Unpack your bags, get a house, unpack your heart with words, and get a life.
