“Read the whole thing, don’t cherry pick.”

That is an interesting comment and brings to mind that you - or maybe just someone that thinks like you - said that the phrase “all men are created equal” was written into the Declaration of Independence to ensure that contemporaneous native Americans could live in Cambridge and teach at Harvard.

If true, they would have also been handy to serve as jurors in cases involving Native American property disputes, fair housing commissioners, and PTA chairs. And to run as governor of the State of Massachusetts Bay.

If I have misstated your view, just tell me bluntly: in context, the Declaration of Independence was not intended to apply to merciless Indian savages.

It didn’t apply to women or blacks either, did it? Whats your point? Got a problem with The Declaration of Independence? Take it up with Congress. But it’s a little too late now, isn’t it?
