“When, in the course of human development, existing institutions prove inadequate to the needs of man, when they serve merely to enslave, rob, and oppress mankind, the people have the eternal right to rebel against, and overthrow, these institutions.
The mere fact that these forces inimical to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are legalized by statute laws, sanctified by divine rights, and enforced by political power, in no way justifies their continued existence.”
@twitterreject nah, I don’t take it that way.
To me the funniest thing about that quote is the footnote that goes along with it in the book it was published in…
“This `Declaration' was written at the request of a certain newspaper, which subsequently refused to publish it, though the article was already in composition.”
We’ve all been too distracted by “stuff” to pay attention to the ruse for an incredibly long time.
