And we do insist on letting our upper classes have a separate say in the House of Lords, because they're such jolly good chaps that we wouldn't want them to get upset, now.<br /><br />So yes, the Declaration of Independence is a remarkable and brave document, regardless of its interpretation by some. I wonder if we will be as far sighted here in Scotland if and when we finally make a total bid for independence.Juliet Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035975039896986525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-87118813216338610312010-07-05T13:20:27.101-07:002010-07-05T13:20:27.101-07:00Thanks for this post.

I don't know that I would have had courage to do what they did, but I'm so thankful they - and others - did.<br /><br />PS You know it was signed July 2 and published on July 4, right? :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07803503583347758969noreply@blogger.com
