	<description>I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.</description>

		<description>Gary Ansorge Says:
&quot;Remind me again, when did George Lucas write these lines? How perceptive of him,,,&quot;

He claims to have written them in the 70&#039;s, in response to the whole Viet Nam issue.</description>

		<description>I am a little late here,

I hope all of you had a good celebration on 4th of July. Congratulations to your 231st anniversary.
Sometimes it is realy good to go back and see what is written there. My favourite since I read it first in 10th grade 25 years back still is:

&quot;We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.&quot;

Really wise guys, weren&#039;t they? Especially because it says &quot;men&quot; including more than only the inhabitants of a special country.</description>

&quot;That copy/paste was a waste of bandwidth.&quot;

Just for comparison...
The Declaration is 18289 characters = bytes of text (including blanks).
