Understanding the society that we live in contributes to our morality,
to our heritage and to our contribution for future generations.
Each society, although similar in many aspects as to the function of the
many institutions of all societies, is unique. None more unique
than America. We are an infant Society that was started based upon
what we saw as the mistakes of the countries from which we came.
We are a society that is fluid today because of those founding
principles -- all can enter our borders and all can contribute and share
in our founding principles. That is what makes this country different
from all the ones before us. As a result, American history is one
of the most studied histories in the world -- others want to understand
how we work and how we have advanced so quickly to be the society we
have become.
That fascination as seen throughout the world should be viewed
differently by Americans. As Americans we should be bound by the
principles that have made us great and use those principles to ensure
the rights of all societies throughout the world. Unfortunately,
Americans may not be unanimous in this belief. There may be a
large segment of our society that believes that American preservation is
the most important principle that must be safeguarded. Today, we
are testing both theories -- we are participating in the making of
American history.
