Yep, - and we disagee on that reason. - Big deal.
What you are engaged in is pure spin.
If I am, so are you.
I am not sure what you are so afraid of
Me? Afraid of what? You must be looking in a mirror.
or what improvement you think would be made by your revision,
My comment was not about improving/revising, as you admit in your first sentence above.
it is in the end a trivial point as I doubt the National Archives are going to give heed to your suggestions. You have nothing to loose in your suggestions, but the men who wrote and signed the Declaration of Independence put all they owned, all they loved and their very lives on the line when the ink dried on that piece of paper. Now with as much as they had to lose don't you think they were a little more interested in just what exactly it said?
Is the 'creator' bit a "trivial point " or not? - Obviously, I think it is.
- You don't, - so whats the big deal?
