The Declaration of Independence proverb

 The Declaration of Independence was a denial, and the first denial of a nation, of the infamous dogma that God confers the right upon one man to govern others
  Robert Green Ingersoll

 We've kind of been in denial about this problem. Denial is no longer an option.

 We have frequently gone into denial when faced with unpleasant, unpalatable facts and now we are hearing from governments in Africa that they are not going into denial but that they are facing up to a horrendous situation forthwith,
  Desmond Tutu

 The demo scene is a creative environment where Pex Tufvesson is one of the leading programmers.

 This new technology provides enhanced denial of service attack coverage. Denial of service is becoming a bigger and bigger problem in the industry, as many customers are receiving extortion-related calls.

 They are putting their hopes on a sharp snap-back in the market. Management has been in denial for a while, and they continue to be in denial. If the snap-back isn't reasonably sharp, they have to think about very, very deep cuts in spending.

 In an essay 10 years ago, I pointed out that it is utterly logical for polygamy rights to follow gay rights. After all, if traditional marriage is defined as the union of (1) two people of (2) opposite gender, and if, as advocates of gay marriage insist, the gender requirement is nothing but prejudice, exclusion and an arbitrary denial of one's autonomous choices in love, then the first requirement - the number restriction (two and only two) - is a similarly arbitrary, discriminatory and indefensible denial of individual choice.

 What is revolutionary about the Declaration of Independence, then, is not that a particular group of Americans declared their independence under particular circumstances but that they did so by appealing to - and promising to base their particular go

 The very same means that the cyber vandals used a few weeks ago [in the denial-of-service cyber attacks on several major Web sites] could also be used on a much more massive scale at the nation-state level to generate truly damaging interruptions to the national economy and infrastructure.

 By imposing this tax upon citizens without the consent of their elected representatives, the government is violating a fundamental right of all Americans proclaimed by our nation's founders in the Declaration of Independence and guaranteed in the Constitution.

 I was the oldest member of the Second Continental Congress. I was on a committee to draft the declaration of why we deserved to seek our independence. I saw many, many changes made to that declaration. Mr. Jefferson, who wrote it, was a little upset about some of that, but we talked about it, and he realized that the changes were necessary, if for no other reason, than to make each one of us a part of that document.
