The Declaration of Independence
This is the second part of “A Powerful Performance.” Here, the Declaration is read by many popular actors, including Mel Gibson, Michael Douglas, Whoopi Goldberg, Winona Ryder, and others. To hear it read with such zeal is very inspiring. Think of this document whenever you think of the role of government.

While you have a right to call this video retarded, as some of the actors reading may not exactly embody the highest of moral or ethical standards, it is important to remember that the Declaration of Independence is not in the National Archives just because it looks pretty. The Declaration of Independence is essentially, as a document, one of the primary blocks in our nation’s foundation.

Is it me, or is the actor who reads after Whoopi Goldberg the same one from “The Illusionist,” Edward Norton?

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Many of todays PolySci politicians better pay attention to this said document as some have caused a variance to the rules set forth in the document and I would say are subject to immediate removal from office

The Declaration of Independence was first published in full outside North America by the Belfast Newsletter on the 23rd of August, 1776.A copy of the document was being transported to London via ship when bad weather forced the vessel to port at Derry. The document was then carried on horseback to Belfast for the continuation of its voyage to England, whereupon a copy was made for the Belfast newspaper

That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it and to institute new government.
Are we there yet?

True wisdom comes from a power source within the intangibility of the mind, it is the basis of oneness. Be one and know truth it is essential to humanities freedom. Fearing evil gives it power over you. I am a messenger of truth.

I can see the bigger picture it has everything to do with the matrix, and belief in intangible symbols, it is a close encounter of a third kind. The basis for dysfunction is image and the double mind the basis of addiction, I have interpretted the sermon on the mount that christ gave also it pertains to quantum physics. I need help saving the world no one will listen to me due to the blind leading the blind. I am the fisherking and neo I am spartacus, unity is the key to freedom. help me
