Principles Not Politics

Much factional division in the United States today stems from poor systems of government. Whether factions are organized political parties, ethnic groups, or other special interests, they will attempt to leverage government for a selfish purpose if allowed or encouraged.

Good governance is based on principles that suppress factionalism and enable all people to pursue life, liberty, and happiness with equal treatment by the law. The leaders who pursue such principles and pursue the well-being of the whole are known as statesmen, not politicians. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, Version 4.0 is about applying principles to governance in the 21st century.
