On Jefferson, absolutely! It's so odd (for me) to re-look at the Declaration, though, in light of the fact that it was simply a stalling tactic. When you read it from that perspective, you can totally see the Congressional bureaucracy: "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another ..." Which, while brilliantly written, is really saying, "blah, blah, blah, the British suck - we're outta here." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.
