[Vision2020] Huh?

Jeesh, Mr. Rumelhart . . .

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, NOT their own facts!

Where, in the Declaration of Independence, does Thomas Jefferson (et al) address "the right to keep and bear arms" (as Boom-Boom Bouma suggests) is "what really started the war"?

For your viewing pleasure, here is . . .

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill 
If you want to be like the folks on the hill."

You remember "the shot heard round the world", and "Paul Revere's ride"?  The shot was at Lexington where the British troops were trying to disperse the crowd (and possibly disarm them).  Paul Revere's ride was to Lexington to warn the leaders there that the British were on their way.  The cache of weapons and other military supplies at Concord had been moved weeks earlier since the rebels had had good intelligence about this possibility.
