Ye i: That is a sentiment that has really been the through line for american history. And so i think that's what they were trying to get at. The rules apply to everyone. They are fairly, or they're supposed to be fairly, applied. It's also the idea that we are constantly striving to make a more perfect union. Nethrit Vatanka: We believe that everyone is goneof free to do it their own way.
