>> It [the Declaration of Independence] in no way defines what sort of nation the US would be, how it would be governed, what the laws and rights were... nothing.
> Nothing? Not at all? So the second paragraph ("We hold these truths to be self-evident ...") and the ensuing list of grievances don't define what a government should and should not be?
You are *finally* correct. The DoI established *nothing* except "We won;t be part of Britain anymore, and here's why." The US coudl ahve gone in *many* possible directions... including monarchy with King George Washington the First. The DoI established no rules for such.
> The Wookie ... er, I should have said Wiccan ...
That *really* *is* the limit to your ability to debate, isn't it.
> Either Saxon laws -- including the Capitulate -- defined English law or they didn't.
And they did. And Saxon common law was pagan in origin. I'm sorry that you can't handle this simple fact.
> But if you are an adherent of Wonka ... er, I meant Wicca ...
Ok, now I'm certain: you're actively *trying* to make yourself look ignorant and childish.
> should invite the Wobbly ... darn! I mean Wiccan wacko ... drat! I mean "priestess" ..
And further evidence is given. Thank you for crappign all ove rhte Conservative cause with your ignorance.
This from a guy who
1) Is a Wanker ... er, I mean, Wiccan; At least he is today. Yesterday he was in Heaven's Gate, but they left this plane of existence without him (more's the pity);
2) Can't spell "the";
3) Can't spell "crapping";
4) And can't apply the smidgin of history he learned at PS 12 to the real world.
The only "cause" to which YOU'RE a credit is retroactive abortion.
