Regarding the letter “American greatness disappearing” (Feb. 28, TribLIVE): It depends on how you define greatness. Does a great nation take care of its most vulnerable children? Does a great nation abuse a person based upon the color of his or her skin?
Today America must choose between moving forward into a more just society for all people or go backwards on the American promise of “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
