You were correct - my search engine confused the two and when I was posting I wasn't very wide awake - thus the booboo.

However, the Declaration of Independence IS the greatest 'speech' ever written. Because of it, everything that has occurred since the inception of the "Great Experiment" has relevancy on the world's stage.

I am NOT going to go back and edit my posts - suffice it to say, everything I said with my first post is still relevant to the Declaration of Independence.
