A1 definitely family, fireworks, festival with great band. But realize need to honor Independence Day #sstlap

A1 As @PreetBharara so eloquently put it, Independence Day celebrates the promise of America for all. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Jul 6 @ 9:15 PM EDT

the idea of it being a promise- pursuit of happiness not the guarantee. #sstlap

In his new book, Autumn of the Black Snake, @WilliamHogeland has an interesting take on what TJ meant by pursuit of happiness. #sstlap 1/2

Braz74 - Moderator Jul 6 @ 9:18 PM EDT

I will have to take a look at that. we all know there wasn't equality for people then that we expect today #sstlap

He says happiness was defined as the ability to stake out & own land, & its pursuit meant opening the west to expansion. #sstlap 2/2

A2 this is an area I am not good with. I haven't done much to truly honor this day and those that made our freedom possible #sstlap
scottmpetri Jul 6 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2 Hard to say all men are created equal when income inequality is at worst since 1928. https://t.co/vjvOlxCD4Y #sstlap
classroomtools Jul 6 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Expansion by whites, of course, meant depriving the natives of their independence, & also bringing slaves in to work the new land. #sstlap

Agreed- but many see it as equal opportunity to success not everyone should or will become. Some like that many aren't #sstlap

Indeed many see it that way, even though they are busy hobbling as many as possible so that can't get off the starting line. #sstlap

A3 NO! no we are not living up to the ideas- we are not treating people fairly- we have created a system stacked against some #sstlap
Braz74 - Moderator Jul 6 @ 9:25 PM EDT

The concept of Freedom is also very interesting. @GeorgeLakoff says it means different things to Right&Left. https://t.co/jriOucyF14 #sstlap
Braz74 - Moderator Jul 6 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4 allow ss to engage in conversation-create their own opinions but share examples to get them thinking #sstlap
Braz74 - Moderator Jul 6 @ 9:28 PM EDT
