but thrival of the greatest fit with least endosymbiotic change required

whether we speak of polycultural enrichment
or meta-paradigmatic revolutions in understanding multicultural enrichment.

If you need some grease,
Why can't you just
Squeak a little,

But everyone's going too fast to take a stand
And demand the justice...

I find a consistent
constitutionally protected value
hidden in Preambulation
