About the creator thing, I could say my parents created me (all men are created equal). It also uses men as mankind but could be considered to exclude women until recently because they couldn't vote (up until August 26, 1920 with the 19th amendment).
Similarly 'god' means many things; ask a Hindu and a Christian or even 2 Christians and the answer will vary. Just because the country was founded on religious freedom it doesn't mean the founders had to give up their beliefs in the process. I could open a make your own pizza any way you want it restaurant and let people add peppers on their pizza but never add them on mine (I HATE green peppers

The people really aren't bad or to blame too much. The song '16 Tons' refers to when miners exchanged pay for supplies at the (mining) company store but got deeper in debt to make ends meet and had to work at the mine more in a bad cycle "St.Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go: I owe my soul to the company store" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SfYyvhuySk . Well there's still Walmart and other things :/.
It's complicated. Frankly I blame greedy CEOs (why are we dependent on oil? Behind most countries in healthcare? etc), banks, the media (for keeping people stupid) and the congressmen they sponsor; aka the 1% that the 99% is against. Anyone watch 'South Park'? There's one where Cartman says the 99% are ganging up on him- Cartman is THE quintessential 1%: someone who is a sociopath and expects everyone else to pay for his excess. It's not really about money or REP vs DEM at the core problem so much as that. The R.E.M song 'Ignorland' has a line "these b******s stole their power from victims of the 'us v them years' " that's dead on. People need to stop being divided by posers.
Also our governing system runs incredibly fu- ... bad. It doesn't work very well. Just yesterday I ranted to 'dancing Bairs' (inside joke) about student loans doubling http://smashboards.com/threads/wofl-q-a-social-happy-holidays-3.272870/page-466#post-15647383 . The answer as I see it is support the people as directly as possible (NO BAILOUTS TO COMPANIES WHO @$&^ed US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) It's not about political sides with the 99%. Sadly sociopaths and posers seem to come into power frequently in history and people follow them because scapegoating, blaming, wishful thinking and intentional ignorance.
