I pledge allegiance
to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the republic
for which it stands
one nation,
under God,
indivisible,
with liberty and justice
for all.

Liberty is like a muscle: If it is not exercised, it is lost. The Constitutional Declaration of IdeaFarm (tm) City is an exercise of liberty. Liberty is also like a muscle in another way. If it is exercised recklessly, it is injured. The Constitutional Declaration of IdeaFarm (tm) City is bold, but it is not reckless.

The birth of Liberty is like the birth of a mountain. For a long time, there is no mountain, and there is a quiet. But unseen forces are building, building, building, in the earth. Suddenly, with terrible violence, the earth tears, buckles, and spews forth towards the stars. Now there is a mountain, and again, there is a quiet.

So also, the birth of Liberty.

The death of Liberty is like the death of a mountain. The blind observer sees no change. But he who has eyes sees the mountain begin to die as soon as it is born. The wind, not loving the mountain, blows it away, grain by grain. The rain, not loving the mountain, washes it away, in brown rivulets. Armies of tiny plants and burrowing, scratching, digging animals, not loving the mountain, patiently and relentlessly split the mountain's towering edifice into piles of rubble. Then all conspire to make of the rubble a dust, and to scatter it over the Earth, so that even the memory of the mountain dies.

So also, the death of Liberty.

What part has man in the birth and death of a mountain? My force, as a man, is pitifully feeble, and that is a good thing. For I am just another burrower, scratcher, digger. If I claimed to be the maker of the mountain, the other animals would laugh. The animals would say, "Fool! To this mountain, you are only a burrower, a scratcher, a digger, as are we. Your ability to fashion a mud hut does not make you a creator of mountains! This mountain was brought into existence by the mighty force of God!"

So also, man's part in the birth and death of Liberty.
