LOL partially true. The first sparks of freedom and man's rights started in ancient Greece (Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, Themistocles, King Leonidas of Sparta, etc), then the Christian world view (Western Civilization) eventually won Rome over, then the Dark Ages/Barbarian & Muslim invasions nearly wiped Western thought out of existence, only to be reborn in England with the Magna Carta in 1215. The concept of English common law and "the natural rights of Englishmen" continued to develop and progress all the way to the Divinely inspired (imo) American fight for Independence in the Revolutionary war. The birth of our nation with the founding documents Declaration of Independence and our Constitution were the crowning achievement in man's quest for self government. Might was finally made subservient to Right, and a government as a servant to the people instead of ruler or king over the people was finally given a chance.
