I beseech of you all...
To take a little time to read the following sometime today:
http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration_transcript.html
Pay particular attention to the "facts submitted".
I love the language, it's a shame people don't write like that anymore.
compelling stuff; indeed.

I beseech of you all...
Its a shame that most (?) people today have not read this at least once. Is it still taught in school ? Civics ?
I don't know...
I was a product of "sister's school" back in the 60's, we were REQUIRED to memorize the Declaration, as well as other historical documents in grade 6.
Good reading....
Have not read it since the mid-70s, was good to refresh the memory.
