Happiness

Although the Conservative Party does, indeed, pay fidelity to the Constitution, it also honors all the documents of the founding of America. “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.”

On this 2015 Memorial Day, we honor those servicemen who gave their lives for these Rights. Although “Life” and “Liberty” seem to be understood well, “Happiness” can get a bit foggy. How does Happiness figure in as an element defining government?

About 50 years ago, a young lady we only know as named Michelle took her life, but left this with us.

“My happiness is me, not you.
Not because you may be temporary,
But also because you want me to be what I am not.”

Happiness from government is more than the political argument; too big, too small, not caring, too much caring, etc. “My happiness is me, not you.”

There is no Federal budget aspect to happiness. No taxes are needed. There are no Federal crimes of happiness. No new laws are needed.

Quit telling me what should make me happy! “My happiness is me, not you.”
