[SOC] ok: off topic and not SOC either

[Kevin Rock]

It is a fine document.  Any time I wish to appear quite radical politically I will quote from it.  People will get offended and then confused and embarrassed when I tell them what I just said was from the Declaration of Independence.  So few Americans have read either it or the Constitution.  Both are quite well written and understandable by anyone.  Neither require great literacy to understand since the words are so very powerful and forthright.  To ease their embarrassment I tell them it is easy to find a copy which they can read aloud to their own families or students.
   VY 73,

>I was teaching a class of Thai young people and to try to give them an idea of how individualistic Americans are (to help them understand American movies), I read the Declaration of Independence to them.  I held back tears and my voice quavered, but I read it all out loud.  I was surprised at myself.
