    That George III couldn't read English is an old tale. English was his primary language and he was fluent in German and French, also.

    They run this every Fourth Of July during the morning news program on NPR. I always set the alarm clock so that I wake up to it and it never fails to give me a chill to hear the Declaration read so well. Hit the "listen" button.

    Of special note is the little postscript concerning King George.

    I'd also like to not how much influence it seems that the Declaration of Arbroath hed upon the Declaration of Independence...I doubt that this was a coincidence.
