I wonder how many people could parse this sentence these days:

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people
to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another,
and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal
station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a
decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should
declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

It's kinda like the "pledgalegance" that we were all forced to memorize -
it doesn't mean anything any more, because nobody understands what it's
actually saying!

I think the dumbing-down of American children is part of the illuminati
conspiracy. "Free? Uh, Yeah, I'm free! I'm free to go bowling, I'm free
to have barbecue - oh, wait a sec, better check that one - but who cares?
American Idol is on!"

Thank you for letting me rant.

Love,
Rich

If some body of people want to secede from the political unit to which
they belong, they owe it to their present associates and mankind at
large to explain why.

Actually, the Declaration of Independence is a laundry list of
grievances.
Right after the part Rich quoted, it launches into it.

Seems plain enough to me. I suppose the Rebs' downfall was that they
didn't explain their reasons for secession clearly enough, or that God
didn't think they were entitled to it. That and all the heavy industry
being in the north.

Exactly.

I guess the populace was originally averse to having a queen that other
blokes had used and cast off. But since Charles has already produced heirs
then unless they both die and Camilla is still fertile it is unlikely to be
an issue.

Royalty no longer have any power to dictate the national religion, so it
doesn't matter if they marry or become non-protestant.

Royalty seems to have descended into an upper-class twit reality show funded
from the public purse, providing easy fodder for newspapers and people that
are obsessed with such crap.

The Royals ought to stop taking any money from the public and then they can
rightly say they are not paid to be a public freak show. Then they can tell
the world to mind their own business, and use anti-stalking laws if anyone
tries otherwise.

I wonder what would happen if any heir wanted to marry a non-white Satanist?

That would be damn funny! :->

Charlie doesn't. And much of the Queen's Civil List grant goes to pay
her staff.

The good news is that nothing is compulsory.
The bad news is that everything is prohibited.

Good man, he can rightly do as he pleases.

Not so good.
I can see that paying staff to look after spots open to tourists brings
money back from tourists, but I dislike paying for personal flunkies.

Mind you, government bureaucracy probably wastes as much or more, and it is
less visible to the public eye.
 
Why doesn't Charlie get married over the anvil at Gretna Green. It's
perfectly legal.

His problems arise due the City of London and the Multinationals being at
war with each other over who will have his money should there be another
divorce in the family.
 
That's the preamble to the Declaration of Independence, which they make
us analayze in the 8th grade. We had to analyze the Pledge of
Allegiance at the beginning of the year.

So, at least in my school, everyone knows what he or she is saying.

What does this have to do with electronics/design or whatever the
subject is?
(By the way I moved to sci.physics.research and I am posting there now,
I just looked around back here to see if anything interesting is
happening. sci.physics.research is moderated, so they don't let my
posts through unless I quote things correctly. That's how I'm
learning...)
 
But, here, I don't have to worry about my quoting, so since this is an
off-topic topic anyway, I'll just forget about it altogether! (Hehe, I
bet someone'll get annoyed).

It means that when a people have to separate politically from another
people, it's only fair for them to explain why. So the delegates to the
Continental Congress were saying to England, "We want to ditch you and
form our own country because we don't like how you are treating us, but
we want to show you we can still be fair and respectful even if you
can't. The fair thing to do is tell you why, so here goes."
 
Oh wait, sorry for that, everyone already said what I just said, but I
didn't read it before posting. I'll pay more attention next time...

There's also evidence that the King had mental issues, didn't listen to
his advisors, and was drunk when he made his decisions regarding the
Colonists.

Yes, there is, albeit I hear that these days, not everybody gets a
news server with their internet account, through their ISP.

Either talk to your ISP people, and ask for the name of their news server,
and get that (a newsserver) included in your account. Then use a
newsreader. If you're on windoze, Outlook Express is the default news
client - the only other real newsreader I know of in Doze is Netscrape.

If you decided to install Linux, of course, you'd have your choice of a
plethora of client programs.

As far as operating the newsreader, netiquette, and so on, there are
usually answers in one of the news:news.* groups.

Good Luck!
