Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness

So right now there is a commercial that plays on conservative radio here in LA (yes, I listen to conservative radio on my way to work… gotta hear all perspectives, even if they are dreadfully nauseating) and in this commercial it has “testimonials” from people about a certain proposition that will be on an upcoming ballot.

One of the actors says, “The Constitution says we are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. What ever happened to that?”

Eh hem. Pardon me, hate to be a bother with the whole “facts” thing again, I know how much neo-cons hate those darn facts. I, of course, fully support the phrase… but “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” is in the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution.

Go back to bed America, we will now return you to your regularly scheduled disinformation.
