Two Days after Independence Day

One of my very favorite pieces of writing in human history is the U.S. Declaration of Independence.  While listing the grievances that compelled the separation from the Crown dominate much of the Declaration, the precocious statements about freedom and liberty and consent of the governed were truly radical concepts, at the time.  And so the actions taken by those signing the Declaration were truly radical acts designed to overturn the established monarchies, dictatorships--the establishment of ruling elites in favor of the consent of the governed and the freedom of the people to seek life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.  No matter what the revisionists and the au courant gang say, there is clearly no document in human history as well written or as impactful as the American Declaration.
