Your thoughts and insights could benefit us all. If you have an alternative phrasing fell free to shae it.

Bravo. Have you thought about publishing this in the world famous Dummies series of guides? You know, the one with the bright yellow covers.

In these present days, we had better be careful of that which we espouse. Your translation is very good, but the words could be considered seditious by many. Are you a part of the vast right-wing conspiracy? It is not too much of a stretch to consider the government spoken of in that great document, to be our present one. (Or was that the point?)

Lives, fortunes, and sacred honor have been lost before in the fight against tyranny and will, undoubtedly, be lost again.

Good morning, tame- at a fast glance your essay looks good- more people need to ponder things in such a fashion.

The Declaration of Independence is a such great document.
It is too bad that so much of it was never actually written into law.

As a former teacher of high school American literature, I would have my A track students try to write the Declaration in their own words. The exercise had many benefits. No matter how long they worked on it, they eventually realized that the assignment was a trick: Jefferson wrote a perfect document.

Yours is a good explanation, though.
