Do you still believe in these words "We the people"?

Question

Too often these days I see people standing against each other unwilling to acknowledge anything good about each other. I do not understand why people do not seem to understand that it is the people in America who have the power. Unite enough people in a common cause and you can move mountains. It is okay to despise or distrust government if you choose, but why must you extend that hate to common people. It is okay to be Patriotic, but why when people disagree are they labelled as anti-american. Do you not see that it is in the government's best interest to keep us at each others throats, and out or the process as much as possible?

Here's the question again. Do you believe in we the people? Or is your view Us against Them? Please explain your reasoning?

Please leave the Bush bashing at the door. Administrations are irrelevant to this question because they are all guilty of this. Besides, there are plenty of other questions for that on Yahoo Answers.

damndirtyape212: I know the answer from my viewpoint. I try to keep my direct opinion out of my questions. That is what answers are for.

We the people have the right and the ability to make change in the way things are done in this country.We have the right to petition the govenment,we have the right to recall,we have the right to referend.Too many people have become complacent with todays government.They either dont know or dont care that they can institute change.Thank you for the qustion.Maybe this will help.

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one peopl to disolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the eathh the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of natures God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident;that all men are created equal;that they are endowed by their creator with inherent and inalianable rights;that among these are l;ife,liberty, and the pusuit of happiness;that to secure these rights,governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed;that whenevrr any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it,and to institute new government,laying its foundation on such principles,and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

Answer 3

You've got a pretty long diatribe for such a simple question. I think you know the answer already.

In short, small groups have their agendas and that is all they are interested in. No one is willing to do what is best for the whole to the detriment of themselves.

Answer 4

Yes.

The words are just as meaningful today as they were 230 years ago. Some people want to re-interpret the meaning to align with their way of thinking... that was never the intention. "WE" means everybody, inclusive of our personal beliefs, convictions and likes / dislikes. It is the foundation upon which everything else is constructed. That should never be forgotten.

Answer 5

We the people are like flocks of sheep. I believe in "Lead, follow, or get out of the way".

Answer 6

Yes I believe they are just as relevant as ever, the politicians how ever have no clue!
