of life, and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Great Line. T.J. should be proud. GO 'HOOS AND SEAN SINGLETARY

One error that needs correction, is the use of the word inalienable. The word used in the Declaration of Independence is unalienable. According to law dictionaries they are two different words and have different meanings and are not interchangable
