When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for some pranksters to dissolve the bands which have connected them with a Greater Authority, 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 requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Fun. That to secure these rights, Websites are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of their readers. That whenever any Form of WebPower becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new Order, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Businesses long established should not be challenged for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Businesses, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
