The Declaration of Independence is not a legal document. It has no providence other than the opinions of the author and signers. It accomplished nothing.

Sounds like Kevin Spacey is still doing his Glengarry office manager character.

I liked the ones that didn't need to look down.

Did you forget to flip the sarcasm bit? Otherwise I'm not sure wtf you are talking about.

Why did they do this?

I listened to the whole thing. I don't know if I've read the declaration of independance since school, which was 20-some-odd years ago, but suffice to say I don't recall much than most people do, the oft-quoted first few lines in most film.
Either way, what struck me in hearing it this time is how much of it is a reaction to exactly the same behavior the US is showing today. Hilarious.

"Either way, what struck me in hearing it this time is how much of it is a reaction to exactly the same behavior the US is showing today. Hilarious."

I'm guessing that's why this was done.

Not sure what Graham Greene was doing there. Was a Canadian the only native person they could find?

But I can tell by the faces that this was made in the 90s.

Here's why:

Ok that's the last time you're allowed to say "Educate yourself" and then link to Wikipedia. I love wikipedia, I use it all the time, but Damn that site does not deserve to finish off that rebuke.

The plot thickens. Frankly, I was wondering how Mel Gibson was allowed not only to participate, but to lead off after the horrible things he's become famous for lately.

Could this be early 2000s, like soon after 9/11 when "Homeland Security" was starting? I don't know of anything that Clinton did that would piss off actors (dems) so much they'd put something like this together. Surely it wasn't just educational?

Either way, I'm glad they did because I know for sure I'd never been exposed to the entire document before. Worth having heard. Nicely done, except for the bit about the Natives.>> ^shuac:

No, not the early 2000s. Look at Michael Douglas's neck. Look how lean Kevin Spacey's face is.

Hey, some guys know who played 2nd base for the Pirates in 1967 and the like. I know movies. This was made in the mid-to-late 90s.
