You brought up the pursuit of happiness as it relates to the constitution,then you turn around and say ideology is not an issue. If you are just talking poetry, irony, beer,and what happiness means for different people......anything goes. At that point your are talking about subjective individual opinions.
I hope so, but realistically speaking, depending on too many things and in front of temptation, it would take a real man to have the strength and will to behave.
The constitution is protecting your right to pursue happiness, it doesn't guarantee it,....lol. If you think people in North Korea live happy normal lives, you might want to read up more on their economy, average annual income/capita, food rationings, enforced "volunteer labor", no freedom of speech or press, mandatory attendance at party rallies and speeches, addresses, etc.
In oppressive regimes the cocept of individuality is non existent and the pursuit of happiness is not even an issue/concept. It is all too easy to take it for granted or ridicule it.
