When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bond which has connected them to 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 for the opinions of man require that they declare the causes which impel them to the separation. And if we wanted to post in 50 char segments we’d be on Twitter. Testing testing yadda yadda. ---
