remember the last Declaration was important, made by people with political power and influence. This is merely an idealistic essay rather than an action--it describes a movement, it does not _compel_ movement.


Political power and influence usually begin with an individual writing an idealistic essay...

Thomas Jefferson, Ron Paul, Adolf Hitler, (prisoner to Chancellor in under 10 years), Barack Obama (nobody to President in under 10 years)

...I could go on, but I'll let others add names and stories


This is true but does not conflict with my assertion. The Declaration of Independence was an act of political power and influence. This is an idealistic essay that might spur actual acts of political power and influence.

Veneration of a document must be earned.
