ll.5'.,4.: Che ivcrmancnt Kevvlutian The Universe is changeg our life is what our thoughts make it. Our country began with a revolution, and today, two hundred years later, we are still a part of that movement. Our forefathers protested the oppressive restrictions imposed by the mother country on colo- nial trade and manufacturing, as well as the deluge of British laws which infringed upon their rights. They wanted representation, the opportunity to make their own decisions, and revolution seemed the only feasi - ble solution to their repression. Despite thepassage of time, we are linked to this cataclysm by ourforefa- thers' bequeathment: thefreedom ofchoice. Accord- ing to Thomas Jefferson: - Marcus Aurelius Antoninus this is the right to choose, the right to create for oneseU the alternatives of choice. For without the possibilities of choice and the exercise of the vote, a man is not a man but a member, an instrument, a thing. Our inheritance enables us to choose the direction of our revolution. Although we are no longer involved in a debacle directed against another nation, as we were in the past, we are now part ofa more subtle revolution, one of new ideas, morals, roles, and beliefs.
