I do not know why, but I never truly accepted the worldview my family tried to teach me. That we were entitled to rule. I studied the greatest philosophers of history and considered what they spoke. I studied the Founding Fathers of America and considered what they built. I did not believe as they did, but their writings tugged at my soul. “All men are created equal…unalienable rights…life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Those words were clarion calls to the young man I was at the time. Then the Peloran made Contact and proved that we were not alone in the universe.
