[Image description: Photo from Monday night's debate of Hillary Clinton standing in front of the backdrop which features text from the Declaration of Independence. I have circled three bits of text reading: 1. All men are created equal; 2. Governments are instituted among Men; 3. Mankind are more disposed.]
I just felt really overwhelmed by that when I saw it. Those words were written 227 years ago, and Hillary Clinton is the first woman to stand in front of them. Blub.
