Adam Scott Actor

celebrate the independence of our nation, it is a tradition for local leaders or family members to read aloud the Declaration of Independence, beginning with the famous words: "When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected with another and to assume the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and nature's God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to separation. "



The words remain strong, although it is sometimes difficult to appreciate the magnitude of its meaning when reading in the family barbecue from his uncle wearing a cooking apron kiss. Instead, I recommend to see the time of independence from 2008, the HBO miniseries, John Adams. As representatives of the original colonies reflect on the separation from Britain, the breath of fire policy has ended and the celebration is a long way off. As Adams (Paul Giamatti) says to Thomas Jefferson (Stephen Dillane) in an earlier scene, "We are about to take a leap in the dark."
