It is July 4, 2007, 231 years since the original was declared. In that time the U.S. was declaring independence from a tyrant, King George III of England. I heard the declaration read by newscasters associated with National Public Radio .. and was moved to think of the tyrant President George W. Bush, and the parallels between the contents of the Declaration of Independence and todays situation. The core of the Declaration is a listing of grievances, statements and assertions of crimes committed by King George III.
