Iโ€™m NOT saying, Iโ€™m NOT encouraging nor do I ever want to overthrow the government. Please donโ€™t. What I am doing is dropping a transcript of the Declaration of Independence for everyone to read and reminding that we have the right to demand a fair market! The government works for us, we the people!

Feel free to share this around Twitter as so many have advised to do no donโ€™t have one.

Please do NOT comment anything crazy, illegal or immoral or I will delete your comment and block you. This is just to remind everyone that when itโ€™s time to vote, to push these reminders on running officials. They need to remember that they work for US! That we deserve the same equality as they have! We deserve the same opportunities they have! We CAN make a difference if we stand strong and stand together. Ask questions to politicians. Demand answers. Demand equality all around! Remind running politicians they work for us, and this is what we want and need for our country to be better, to do better, instead of them making empty promises of what THEY plan to do. A truck driver thatโ€™s never been involved in politics his entire life just beat out a career politician in NJ! We CAN do this! We CAN make a better tomorrow!

In Congress, July 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, 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.

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.--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, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to re

Discussion: A New Declaration of Independence

As we have become more aware of our material conditions and aware of how we are seen by those in power exclusively as tools of capital, there has been justified animosity towards our government and the people that it serves, namely the ultra-wealthy. Below is a simple declaration of what our focus should be in order to form a more cohesive movement for the realization of a more humane and just society. It is intended to be a dynamic document, and not to be enshrined as something immutable so that future people may use it as a way to advance the cause of human rights in any new societies hereafter.

The New Declaration of Independence

We, the people of these United States, can no longer abide by the rule of law that has become corrupt and tyrannical. Therefore, we reject the ideals and institutions that have become oppressive against not only our own citizens, but to our values as well. As such, we have decided upon a series of articles that accurately reflects our values and will be the basis for our new laws.

Article 1: Every human has the right to govern their own body however they choose, mentally or physically. It is the most important property that anyone has, and it is unethical for any institution or governing body to take that away from them. The only exceptions to be made for this is imprisonment if convicted of a violent crime or human rights violation, or quarantine as measure of protecting public health and safety.

Article 2: Every human has the right of being assumed innocent until proven guilty. They shall not have their freedom of movement infringed upon without being convicted of a violent crime.

Article 3: Every human has the right to privacy. They shall not be forced or otherwise coerced to reveal any information that they do not want to reveal.

Article 4: Every human has the right to the basic necessities for the continuation of their lives, defined as adequate nutritious food, humane shelter, and clean water.

Article 5: Every human has the right to equal and humane rule of law. No person shall ever be subjected to cruel or inhumane treatment, even as punishment.

Article 6: Every human has the right to expression. They shall not be barred from using their voice in any manner that they choose, so long as it does not infringe upon the rights of others.

Article 7: Every human has the right to education. No human shall ever be denied the ability to learn about the laws that govern them, or be denied th

Could The Grinch steal the Declaration of Independence?

Sure, The Grinch stole Christmas on a whim with a day of prep, but could he accomplish the grandest burglary of all time and steal The Declaration of Independence?

The Grinch is composite and has feats from all official Grinch media. He has 2 weeks to steal the historical document. Grinch is normal sized and not on a snowflake. Grinch starts at his small mountain getaway in West Virginia. He has access to a landfill for supplies. He has Max at his side and is serious about his goal.

Can Grinch get it done?

If he succeeds, is there anything on Earth he couldn't steal?

If he fails, what would be the most secure thing on Earth that he could successfully steal?

1873 copy of Declaration of Independence inside tube signed by US Representative

I purchased this at an estate sale. It had a $1 sticker on it, but I got it with a room full of stuff for $5 (not bad). A copy sold for $325 in 2016, but it didn't have any provenance. I know this was sent from Frank Park (U.S. Representative from GA who had a WW2 ship named after him) to the Hon. John W. Callahan (steamboat company owner). The estate was his granddaughter's. The men both passed away in the 20s, so I know it was sent before then. How much would the provenance increase the value? Thanks!

Declaration of Independence in Madden 20 roster

So this is going to be kind of random and itโ€™s in a 2 year old Madden, but I am on a quest to see how many yards itโ€™s possible to get in a game so I made a team of the absolute best players on offense and another team of the worst. Also, Iโ€™m using a downloaded roster with Madden 21 updated stats just so itโ€™s more relevant. For the worst players team, I just switched some positions until I had 20 or less OVRs on all positions.

I went to Free Agency and looked at the worst OVR players and noticed some with long names like โ€œWhen a long train of abusesโ€ and โ€œinvariably the same object.โ€ I was super confused and knew whoever made the roster was making a joke of some sort, but I recognized the phrases. Turns out, on some of the worst players, this dude typed out the entire Declaration of Independence.

The roster is โ€œMadden21โ€ by MFMatrix (bio says heโ€™s @TheRosterGuy on Twitter). Iโ€™m sure heโ€™s made other rosters cuz heโ€™s got the most popular (I think) roster on Madden 20 and Iโ€™m curious if heโ€™s made other goofs in the other Maddens as well. Thanks for the laugh man.

How to stop Netherlands declaration of Independence?

Playing as France and inherited Burgundy (take that Habsburgs). The Dutch revolts happen after a short while, which I'm fine with as I assume I can just keep forts/armies on to crush rebel armies (this is what I did when I played as Castille and inherited Burgundy). However what I find now is that after a month or so the Netherlands declares independence, which is a pain in the ass because it looks like even if I beat them in a war I won't be able to take back all the provinces which they took. Does anyone know if this is something I can avoid, or do I jus have to beat them, take as much land as I can and then keep on declaring war to reconquer cores.

I can't seem to find anything that seems reliable through google or just don't know how to phrase the question properly to get solid results. There are some conversations about the full quote being inspired by Locke, but nothing in depth on "life" specifically.

Long live France, long live French Canadians and long live free Quebec!

We ask our cousins โ€‹โ€‹on the other side of the ocean to help us lead our fight for the French nation of North America.

All Quebecers over the age of 18 are now conscripts.

Offensives against Canada will begin shortly if Canada reacts in the wrong way.
