Amen, brother. The Declaration of Independence: One of the Great
Whines in History, right there with the Magna Carta.

Not to pick a nit here, but I believe the Magna Carta only applied to male
peers, not the common man or woman.

Magna Carta is a product of the "whining" of the nobles to the king that
they were entitled to a number of unalienable rights in writing guaranteed
by the courts, but the rights were gradually extended to the common folk.
