The American way of life is the biggest threat to the American way of life.
We act as if we believe that we own and run the world. Careless, wasteful, more than a little bit cocky and self-centered — these traits have defined Americans and our way of life for several generations. It is time for us to become more thoughtful, careful stewards of our natural resources, and more respectful of those other nations with whom we share the earth. If we fail to adjust our attitude, it will become literally impossible for future Americans to enjoy anything like the lifestyle the baby boomers, their parents, and subsequent generations have enjoyed.

It was proposed with other 10 ammendments to the Constitution but lacking the number of votes necessary, it did not pass like its others sister ammendments to become what is today known as the Bill of Rights.
