Pages : 181

Book Description
Rights and responsibilitieswhat a strange collection and connection of words. But words do mean things, and according to our great American Constitution and quite contrary to todays popular liberal democrat beliefs, we citizens really do have very many actual responsibilities (how dare we insinuate such mindless drivel?) and very few actual rights. Among those are the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happinessnot the right to happiness but only the freedom of opportunity to pursue happiness and only if one chooses to do so or so chooses not to do so. Unfortunately, since the onset of modern-day liberal progressivism, a great majority of American citizens no longer accept the obligation of any national responsibility.

She's greatly respected in the origami world, one of the well-known world leaders in modular origami. Her books offer a nice exposition of the mathematical elements, but you're not being hit over the head with math lessons. You learn things without even realizing that you have." –Dr. Robert J. Lang "Meenakshi Mukerji is one of today's masters of modular origami, designs comprised of multiple pieces of paper. She also brings her ingenuity and creativity to designs made from a single piece of paper. Among the most appealing aspects of her single sheet work is the way she subtly manipulates a purely geometric form to fold a flower, a leaf, a butterfly, or card suits." –Peter Engel
