Original Version of The Declaration of Independence Discovered

And this explains a lot:

Ben, George, John and Tom walk into a Tavern….....

"In 1770, the average per capita intake of distilled spirits (whiskey, rum, gin and brandy) was 3.4 gallons; by 1830, the per capita intake exceeded 5 gallons..........:" 

After some thought, the framers of the original 
document put down the Ale mugs and all
agreed to be a little more diplomatically thorough
in telling King George to kiss their asses. 


Along with the U.S. Constitution, the rewritten Declaration  has pretty much been ignored in modern times.
