Your highness, we beseech you on this day in Philadelphia to bite me

Today I got to go and see the Declaration of Independence. You know, it is funny how much a document of paper means to me. I rarely talk politics here but I was raised in a rather political family. Conventions, elections, and all that go with it are second hand to me. I can still call an election within 3 points and I can tell you how much a certain canidate will go up and down in the polls- yes, I am that good. There was a reason I ran my first party campaign at the age of 15.

Anyway, with this comes a love of country. It is deeply rooted, it is why I love the 4th so much. But today I got to see a piece of paper that has inspired millions and will continue to inspire millions. It was a thrilling experience and makes me realize that even with all the problems that abound that I am still proud to be an American.

"Never has a war been so courteously declared. It was on parchment with calligraphy, and "Your Highness, we beseech you on this day in Philadelphia to bite me, if you please."
