protestors declared victory when police backed down last night and they had another general assembly meeting when the group could not come to an agreement about a possible move to the mission. >> seems a little bit almost getting more complicated than the things we're fighting against. so i think in my opinion, speaking on behalf of myself and my involvement with them, that it's a good decision to go over there. it's a step in the right direction. >> reporter: something rather than nothing? >> exactly. because when is going to happen is this is not going to stay. look at it. ha. it's not going to stay. >> reporter: as far as we know, san francisco is the only city in the country that offered protestors an alternate site. that site is 16th and mission. but the general assembly the way things work here at the camp is each and every person there has to agree to something before it actually takes place and we all know that that kind of 100% consensus is difficult to come to. >> impossible with that crew, i would think. did anyone go to the school at all? is it open or are they still wait

"in order to form a more perfect union" -- cannot separate the constitution and the declaration of independence. the declaration of independence is the reason for the nation being. the constitution was the legal, enabling document. the declaration of independence spends a lot of time talking about the things the british had done that disqualify them from being a legitimate government. reasons for forming a new government were laid out in the declaration of independence. without question, i think lincoln is right -- that is the founding of the american nation. guest: he talked about all men being created equal. that principle of equality and fairness is v
