We the people
Fascinating Fourth of July polling via Rasmussen (hat tip to TNR):
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 89% of American adults agree that “we are all endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Only seven percent (7%) disagree on that founding premise.
Fifty-six percent (56%) agree with the view that governments derive their only just authority from the “consent of the governed.” Interestingly, one-in-four Americans (25%) disagree.
Seventy-four percent (74%) agree with the assertion that “all men are created equal” while just 23% disagree.

I think Nietzsche would disagree with the assertion that “All men are created equal”. So would Socrates!
