However, your characterization as our nation as one in decline ignores the fact that the ideals set forth in the Declaration were not applied equally or strictly adhered to. This resulted in mistreatment of women, minorities, displacement of persons and shameful portions of history. While I agree that the over-regulation of our country is contrary to the Declaration and is indicative of a decline in this country's ideals, I am proud of how far we have come from the initial reading of that Declaration.
