Why don't you enlighten us about those several versions and explain what
they meant and maybe why they were rejected.
Or is that too complicated for you?
The intent

Founding fathers? which ones. The "founding fathers" per se didn't framed
the amendments.
But, you are aware that the DOI was pretty much a forgotten document during
that time frame aren't you?
You see the founders and the framers didn't place the importance on that
document that people do today.

You do like to continue to troll, misrepresent and lie don't you?
School District?
Declaration of independence has been deemed by a school district to be
banned material?
Your facts are incorrect, but then that is your trademark

[Jeffy had asked another]
Why do you feel the constant need to be nasty?
To you? Because you are an ignoramus who not only does not check his
facts, but posts endlessly repeating stuff that has been disproven
several times. You also seem to think that your unsupported opinion
is of interest to other people.

[To that I add]
Jeff - I don't have a clue what I am talking about, but I am good at
pretending and making it up as I go along so don't confuse me with the
facts, my mind is made up. I stereotype and prejudge. It has always worked
well in the past, why change now - Strickland
**********
Jeffy -- maybe, I heard, but didn't bother to do any independent research,
[ He says it gives him a headache] I like to believe things I want to hear.
I don't like knowing the facts if they aren't going to agree with what I
want to believe and I especially love passing along on the internet, as
facts, things I haven't a clue about their accuracy -- Strickland )
*******************************
[To Jeff Strickland]
I find it "interesting" that you are so incredibly stupid that you totally
missed the citation to the _New York Times_.
You seem to have remembered to take your one-a-day stupid pills.

Oh, no, no, no.
You neither "think" nor "see".

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply you are an idiot. I meant to just

You don't mind that some of us consider you a pschopathetic liar, do you?
After all, you seem to create "facts" just like your spiritual
great-great-great-great-great grandfather, Richard "I'll ***** You" Cheney.
Are you so [drunk, stoned, Bushed, freaked out] that you even realize how
much - and how many - of your posts are lies?
Are you truly stupid or totally insane?

Can you back this up with truthful citations or is this just more of your
