A thought, and a question. from men much smarter than yours truly.
A Thought:
"The U.S. Constitution is the most unique & best contract ever drawn up between a people & their government in history. Though flawed from the beginning, because all men are flawed, it nevertheless has served us well & set an example for the entire world..."
Dr. Ron Paul
OB/GYN, former US Congressman & Presidential Candidate
And, a question:
"Can a nation rise above the injustices of its origins and, by its moral purpose & performance, atone for them? All nations are born in war, conquest & crime, usually concealed by the obscurity of a distant past. The United States, from its earliest colonial times, won its title deeds in the full blaze of recorded history, and the stains on them are there for all to see & censure: the dispossession of an indigenous people, and the securing of self-sufficiency through the sweat & pain of an enslaved races. In the judgmental scales of history, such grievous wrongs must be balanced by the erection of a society dedicated to justice & fairness. Has the United States done this? Has it expiated its organic sins?"
Paul Johnson
Famed Historian (not the former techie head coach) & the author of "A History of the American People"

To Dr Paul's statement:
Absolutely
The answer to Johnson's question:
Yes, I truly believe, though we're always striving for that More Perfect Union
