Introducing An American

Whether we accept it or not, we Americans need to rediscover ourselves. We know our ancestry and are for the most part familiar with our family heritage but, as a nation, we know not who we are as Americans. The colonist had a dream. It wasn't the same dream envisioned by Dr. King, but non the less it was a dream. More importantly, it was an embryonic dream of personal freedom that would lead to a nation with citizens born of dreams. The colonists desire for a Bill of Rights defining individual rights and freedoms led to a constitution guaranteeing citizens "certain inalienable rights and guarantee's under the Constitution, freedom for the people, created by the people, for all humanity within its borders.

A highly sophisticated social, economic, political and governmental infrastructure. Whats happening today. Where have we Americans lost our way?
