Every so often, "We the people" need to be reminded why over 200 years ago we revolted, why we said "no more" to a country and its king an ocean away.While reading our Declaration I was troubled by the similarities of what they were going through and our times today. King George, indeed.
I once read that the longest a "democracy" can last is about 200 years. Going by that we're due for a change. But then again I once read that print was dead.
Anyway, while the Constitution is where our thoughts on freedom are laid out in law, the Declaration is where the emotions are. You can tell that these men knew that they were taking a big chance but decided to say fuck it anyway.
