In an early draft of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson wrote the word "subjects," when he referred to the American public. He then erased that word and replaced it with "citizens," a term he used frequently throughout the final draft.

At least Jefferson made the right decision. Obama has all this history to go on and he's busily trying to make us all into subjects again.

Jefferson and Obama are on two different ends of the spectrum aren’t they. And this find highlights that. *shaking head*

His backspace key didn’t work either?

Gee - And I thought all those quill pens had an eraser. (Next thing ya know, we’ll find out there was a misspelling in the Constitution.)
