[E. Pluribus Unum]

As you may have read, Americans are said to be in a sour mood as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Where would we have read that, Wall Street Urinal?

The Declaration’s gift of freedom and equality is our duty to preserve.

This is hilarious. I've long said that for many Americans, the only thing they know about the Declaration of *INDEPENDENCE* is that it's about "equality."

No. It's about *INDEPENDENCE*.

It is *NOT* about "equality." That line "All men are created equal" was not seen as applying to slaves when it was written. For the representatives and the populations they represented, it was about white Colonists. There was little thought that it should apply to slaves at the time it was written, (except for Jefferson of course) it was meant to argue the case of Englishmen.

It was Later seen to be hypocritical that we should say such a thing, yet not give the slaves their freedom, and some men did subsequently free their slaves as a consequence of pondering this idea.

But it is a modern conceit to believe the Declaration which justified the Separation of the 13 Colonies from England, is somehow about "equality."

It isn't.
