This is it. The Declaration of Independence. For my two cents, the greatest -- and most daring -- political document ever written. We should read it every now and then -- and now is as good a time as any. Here's the text.
It's also good to hear the words of the Declaration proclaimed, as NPR has done every Fourth of July for almost two decades now. For most of those years, I have listened to that reading, pride in my heart and tears in my eyes. The audio is not up yet, but it probably will be by the time you read this.
Happy 4th of July, America!
