We just did the slavery thing anyway.
I wonder if the OP could find the amusing "Revocation of Independence" statement somewhere. Its got to be at least a fortnight since someone posted it.

Was stupid enough to go to the linked post, and saw the following:
This is kind of funny or ironic or something, as doesn't the bible have a whole lot of slaves and stuff in it ? Plus, the Episcopal church is running into trouble with African sections of the Anglican church as it wants to allow people other than just straight men to be ordained as bishops.
Anyway, sorry, time to get back to the Judean People's Front...
