I’m glad our founders were made of sterner stuff.

Committed Life-Partners

In an economic sense, that is about what you ended up with.

The Declaration of Codependence was finally rejected because they foresaw what the paparazzi would do to Princess Di.

I can imagine the signs posted on shop windows: “Loyalty Trumps Independece. Let’s Give Ourselves Back to England!”

There wasn’t a pathway for colonies to become independent back then except for war.

A declaration of OUTdependence?

Those were not that silly.

England wouldn’t take them back.

Mr. Pedantic points out that “We the People” were the words that began the Constitution, not the Declaration of Independence. That document began “When in the course of human events…”

Fun fact, while it might not have been of COdependence, there actually was a Declaration of Dependence that was signed in response to the Declaration of Independence. It was actually called the New York Loyalist Petition of November 28, 1776, but it’s also been called the Loyalist Declaration of Dependence.

Whose signs are we talking about?
