Holiday Topic: The Declaration of Independence


As perhaps the most famous political document in history (certainly in United States history), the Declaration of Independence has influenced or had an impact on the entire world ever since it was written, even in those places where its principles have been rejected. So, in addition to reading it on the air today (as I did for everything other than the itemized list of infractions this afternoon), I thought we could talk about what in it is so substantial and fascinating. Moreover, the particular question I have is what part(s) of it you find most compelling. Also, are there any parts or lines that bother you or with which you don’t fully agree?
