"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind.."

Fine words indeed .... you likely know that they, along with the 'inalienable rights' sentence, were quoted by Ho Chi Minh in his Sept [or Oct] 1945 letter to Truman, in which he pleaded for his people the right to be free of the french, for which right they had just fought the japanese empire ... and also by Fidel Castro Ruz in his 'La historia me absolver ' speech ... so many parallels here ... among which is the fact that these are two repressive motherfxxxers who you really do not want to support by gifting them a patriotic platform.
