Collin I agree with parts of your comment in that the declaration needs to be rewritten in such a manner that fits with the current time as long as it is written in the same form and spirit. The method of how it was written is just as valid today as it was back then. In short we have a problem that we are trying to fix --- these are the reasons why we must act --- we are acting on these reasons. Those reasons are sopa, ndaa, the patriot act, etc...

When the populace as a whole finally wakes up to what is happening there will be a new declaration. The ideas that cultivate this new version will include the old. These ideas will be discussed through many different medium, but there will be a hard copy. The future "radicals" may need to be discreet and inventive to avoid being designated at terrorist for speaking against our government. I hope that this process is not as bloody as the last.
