When, in the course of Human events, it becomes clear that one people made a great big mistake in dissolving the political bonds which had connected them with another, and assumed powers and resonsibilities which they later showed themselves to be far from worthy of, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they formally rescind said dissolution, and beg forgiveness from those who have been harmed by their wayward experiment.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: a people set free from the bonds of tyranny will, over time, eventually rebuild that tyranny; for people are uncomfortable without someone to rule over them. All men and women, created as equals, will quickly undo that equal creation by their various dominant and submissive natures, and institute enormous beaurocracies by the power of their collective subconscious, ensuring that they never again come so close to actual liberty.
The history of the United States is a history of repeated shirking of and retreat from liberty and its responsibilities. We have given up freedom of speech, freedom of choice, freedom of information, freedom of assembly, freedom from unlawful search and arrest; we have fled from our responsibility to keep ourselves educated, well-informed, and well-spoken. We have even created government institutions specifically for the purpose of getting fondled in the airport security line.
We the People, it turns out, aren't really so good at this.
So we are asking the British Crown to reclaim its rightful authority over these wayward colonies and re-establish the system where all we had to worry about was a fucking tea tax.
I don't really think the Brits are doing it any righter.
Yeah... its tongue in cheek....
