You can never surrender
And if your path won't lead you home
You can never surrender
--Corey Hart
Recent Gallup data suggest that most Americans think that the signers of the Declaration would be disappointed with the way things have turned out. Nearly 3/4 of respondents thought so, up from less than half a decade ago.
This is encouraging in some ways. It demonstrates that most Americans do have a sense of the principles upon which this country was founded and an awareness of the growing gap between 'actual' and 'intended.'
Their internal compasses are working.
Moreover, it raises hope that the more people are aware of the gap, the greater the action to close the gap.

Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right…and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean of the characters and conduct of their rulers.
~John Adams
