"He has erected a Multitude of new Offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our People, and eat out their Substance."

- the Declaration



The boys of the brigades knew enough to use descriptive language in delineating their complaints, did they not? Redcoats-as-heinous-swarm, sucking out the substance of a people (indeed, a freedom-loving people) at the behest of a King.

One way to stage a revolution: Turn the King into the middleman, and then cut him out of the action.


Proposition #1, made after a long, sleepless, slightly tripped out antibiotic-fueled night perusing the Declaration and its eventual companion, the Constitution:


It's easy to grow complacent in the belief that you actually remember what's in something you've read before. Complacency, in many cases, simply prolongs misapprehension.

Sub-Proposition #1a) Every time you read something you haven't read in five years or more, it means something different, b/c you are something different.


Proposition #2: There are endless opportunities to be surprised by "classic" literature, including political treatises and so on. They are never as dull or airy or limpid as you (if you are me), in your self-regarding manner, had supposed them to be.
