The Declaration of Independance written by Thomas Jefferson is perhaps the most famous document describing the unique character of the American experiment. It suggests a most profound concept of human endeavors and the human rights the founders held to be unalienable. This is a book touching briefly but poignantly on these profound rights of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, rounded out by an in depth analysis of the rights of Property. All of these are unalienable rights given to man by God not with the intention of being taken away by man. It is a fierce defense of these freedoms and rights and shows how and why they were given to man and why they must be preserved and freely practiced. And finally, there is a connection between God and man related to man's origin and eternal destiny and how these rights (blessings really) are entwined in man's pursuit of happiness and how they involve and include all men no matter where they live.

The American founders designed a Constitution for governance of the United States based on the idea that citizens are sovereign and that function of government is to protect their pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness. This book calls the original system "version 3.0," and discusses five basic political principles required for a modern government to accomplish that function. These principles were either explicit or implicit at the founding. However, the United States has deviated from these principles over time, and today the federal government is doing many of the things the Constitution sought to protect against. Congress is in a position much like the programmers of a computer operating system that seek to increase the functionality of the system and to ward off attacks from viruses. However, not only have they passed laws that take away from the citizen's abilities to pursue life, liberty, and happiness, they have also introduced various viruses that threaten the existence of the entire system. This book describes how we can eliminate these viruses infecting the system and update the U.S. government to "version 4.0," allowing U.S. citizens to pursue life, liberty, and happiness, thereby producing a solid foundation for a strong and durable society in which all can freely prosper. There are several conclusions that run against the current prevailing views. The most significant conclusion involves the relationship of the government to the economy. Several principles adopted as prevailing economic wisdom in both the Republican and Democratic Parties are considered harmful to the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness of citizens, and harmful to the society as a whole. There are many books on reforming the U.S. government, which a majority of Americans consider to be broken. However, there is no comprehensive systematic vision based on these core principles of government. Rather, most approaches are patches on symptoms produced by not adhering to these fundamental principles in the first place.

"Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" are American goals that need to be supported by changes in our social contract. Hard work and honesty must lead to a worthwhile living. This requires that students learn that both street and white-collar criminals are undercutting the social fabric. Changes in our educational system (vocational choices supported as well as collegial paths), our political elections (decided by national majorities), and our marketplace (essential workers must be paid livable wages) will lead to a more equitable society.

Until the most unacceptable, primitive, massively bungled and rigged elections of 2007, which most observers agree was the worst and most shameful of its type anywhere, the world hardly realized that nowhere in sub-Saharan Africa have ordinary citizens been so disappointed, abused and severely traumatized by their leaders than in Nigeria. And nowhere in Nigeria are the people more brutalized, marginalized and oppressed by the leaders than in the Niger Delta. As we remember the human tragedy that was Rwanda and now glued to the sad and despicable images of Darfur, the world must also pause to see the riveting and equally disturbing images that are emerging from the Niger Delta. In the Creeks of Fire is the inside story of a people as they try to emancipate themselves from a terribly broken down Nigerian system. The people in the center of this struggle for justice and freedom have become simply known as the militants of the Niger Delta. The world cannot help but listen to their plight and the voices of those they are fighting for. The rippling effects of this struggle may touch you directly or indirectly wherever you live. And that's both the sad and powerful reality of humanity's inter-connectedness.
