The Declaration of Independence
in congress, July 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united states of America,

"When in the course of human events --------"

But, how many have ever read beyond the preamble --( that I'm sure most of us had to memorize at one time in our lives ). How many have read the "list of grievances" with the "King of Great Britain", that were the stated issues that caused the American Revolution.
Why we are, is just as important as who we are. Happy Birthday, United States of America !! Cheers
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
