[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 1834770, member: 18914"] Thank you for posting this - a worthy read any day but especially on this day. I read the Declaration to my kids this morning before we ran off to the four winds. It amazes me how little attention is paid to the Declaration compared to how much is paid to the Constitution - the Constitution, as important as it is, is only the "how" of our government - it is a changeable document outlining rules and procedures, structures and limitations. The Declaration is the "why", the justification and the underpinnings of our Constitution and, I would argue, fundamentally more important than the Constitution. The Declaration is the reason so many other revolutions with fine sounding constitutions have failed while ours has succeeded so long - because of our wise founding fathers and the patrimony they left us in terms of ideas about man and his relationship to government. God Bless America and Happy Independence Day [/QUOTE]
