		<description>Patrenia, It sure did take some courage to change.  I can hardly imagine being around in those times and trying to decide to form an independent country.  The Hall of Presidents was a nice reminder.</description>

		<description>Hi Eric - I would love to see that.  I&#039;ve been re-learning a lot of our american history through my children.  I am constantly amazed at the strength of ALL that came before us.  It took real courage to...change.  It&#039;s all been for the better and has made us the great country that we are.  I think we take it for granted sometimes :-(</description>

		<description>Patty, it really was fun.  We love going to the Disney parks.  I may just add the Hall of Presidents as our first stop every time we go, just to set the mood for the rest of the day.</description>

		<description>Hey Krissa.  It sure is.  I could hardly imagine the effort that went into drafting it, and then putting it into effect.</description>

		<description>Yeah Annabel, we go way back. :)

That section containing &quot;all men are created equal&quot; is, in my opinion, the most powerful line in the entire document.  We really are created equal, we are all human beings, and residents of this planet Earth.  

I also found it inspiring how they made their case that due to these inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, we had an absolute responsibility to seek independence from an oppressive government.</description>

		<description>Wow, Eric, I would have loved to have seen it! And you are right, the Declaration of Independence is an awesome piece of literature!

		<description>Hey, I didn&#039;t know you were friends with BOB too:)

I like this line: &quot;all men are created equal.&quot; That is exciting given that not all of us end up in equal positions at the end of our lives. Of course, some of us are born into poverty or emotional hardship, others don&#039;t get a decent education or have a stable family life. But still some of those people go on to succeed while others who have every privilege end up in rehab.

Thanks for including the text. It is inspiring, we have the world at our feet and what we do with it is our decision entirely. I don&#039;t think I&#039;ll be aiming as high as those presidents but every little helps:)</description>
