The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America.

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 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 unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness -- That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive to these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, 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 Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shown 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 Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security. Such has been the patient Sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the Necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The History of the present King of Great- Britain is a History of repeated Injuries and Usurpations, all having in direct Object the Establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid World.

Independence Day! | Iraq Veterans Against the War: Jul 3, 2:44pm 1 review usa, constitution, independence •https://ivaw.org/membersspeak/indepen...; In light of tomorrow's celebration, fireworks, BB-Q, and beer, I think it fitting to hear words written from one of our servicemen who have recently returned from Iraq.

From the page: " I guess I always knew what the Fourth of July meant. I had, after all, had the standard amount of American history classes in school. From what I can piece together and remember, it means hot dogs, fireworks and Ol' Glory. I knew that if you wore or displayed red, white and blue, then no one could question your patriotism; and that if you were truly a patriot, you agreed with your government no matter what.

When the war in Iraq broke out, in true patriotic fashion, I answered the call of my country. I went to fight them over there so I wouldn't have to fight them in Southern California. My experiences in Iraq changed how I view my own country and upbringing. I was mortified at how some of my fellow countrymen conducted themselves in our host countries and worse, I didn't want to believe that my country would willingly get engaged in something so... pointlessly bloodletting.

And all under the guise of something so noble! I had wanted to give the Iraqi people the same freedoms that we here in America enjoy... or freedoms I thought we enjoyed. Now I'm not so sure. My Platoon Sergeant confided in me that the war in Iraq took everything he thought he knew about America and crushed it. I responded by telling him that my feelings on the subject were similar.

I realized, late in life but not too late, that the Fourth of July has another name - Independence Day. The day our forefathers saw fit to cast off the shackles of a government that was not representing its people and establish, for themselves, the government they deserved; because they realized, they knew, that only they had that power.

The Fourth of July, Independence Day, will from here on remind me of a time when we, as countrymen and as Americans, realized that our government has the power and only the power that we allow. It's a lesson we were forced to learn more than 230 years ago and, in typical American fashion, it may be a painful part of our history that we are forced to learn again."

911truth.org ::::: THE TOP 40: Jul 3, 2:42pm 3 reviews activism •http://www.911truth.org/article_for_p...; THE TOP 40 REASONS TO DOUBT THE
OFFICIAL STORY OF SEPTEMBER 11th, 2001

At best the 9/11 commission's job was to find scapegoats and allay blame on the Bush administration. At worst, 9/11 was an inside job - a false flag operation, and the commission knew where NOT to look. We'll probably never know the whole truth. Ever. Doesn't matter anyway. The damage is done.

Best Photos from Reuters | Shareordie: Jul 3, 10:11am 26 reviews photography, scientists, zero-g-maneuver •http://www.shareordie.in/best-photos-...; Stephen Hawkings ROCKS!

Actually, he's falling in a parabolic trajectory,
experiencing micro-gravity.

This is actually quite easy to do. I used to take
my girlfriend up and do this for her in the Aero
Club's Piper Warrior.

She seemed to enjoy the sensation quite a bit.

The Consortium Report & John Yoo's Attempt to Discredit a Critic: Jul 3, 7:39am 1 review politics, torture •http://www.themediaconsortium.com/rep...; John Yoo's Attempt to Discredit a Critic

From the page: "Well, Yoo's right about approximately one thing: Sands did testify before the very same House panel, on May 6 of this year. But that's about the extent of it. In his prepared remarks, Sands submits that, "[o]ver hundreds of hours I conversed or debated with many of those most deeply involved. They included... the Deputy Assistant Attorney General at DoJ (Mr Yoo)." [Emphasis mine.]"

Any bets on the MSM picking up on this? I bet they'd dig until they got an in-depth analysis of Britney Spears' cesarean scar for Pete's sake....

Believe Me, It&039;s Torture: Politics &Power: vanityfair.com: Jul 2, 1:24pm 14 reviews politics, fascism, torture •http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/fe...; Remember when we were the good guys?

From the page: "One used to be told--and surely with truth--that the lethal fanatics of al-Qaeda were schooled to lie, and instructed to claim that they had been tortured and maltreated whether they had been tortured and maltreated or not," he wrote. "Did we notice what a frontier we had crossed when we admitted and even proclaimed that their stories might in fact be true? I had only a very slight encounter on that frontier, but I still wish that my experience were the only way in which the words "waterboard" and "American" could be mentioned in the same (gasping and sobbing) breath."
