The Declaration of Independence was drafted in 1776 and was really one of those documents of history that we were required to memorize..My most favorite part is: "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. -- "Everyone..has a righth to respect and common courtesy!IF we are Americans and act against this we act against what our founding fathers faught for in the war of Independence!We mustn't write anyone off or use such degrading language to our fellow americans..
Much blood was shed so our country can be free ...and so all men.. black, yellow, white or whatever color would have the same rights and be treated equally with respect as the other.

I have only ever read portions of it. It's beautifully written and contains a powerful message that is as poignant today as it was when originally written more than 200 years ago. It defines our country, who we are, who we strive to be, and it's a document that should be read by everyone at some point in their lives.
