“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
— The Continental Congress, July 4, 1776
“The task of statesmanship has always been the re-definition of these rights in terms of a changing and growing social order.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt (Commonwealth Club Address, 1932)
“Roosevelt was wrong! The principles laid down in the Declaration of Independence are the principles of individual liberty. Our unalienable rights, given to us by God are given to us as individuals. Our rights do not come from society or the government, and they cannot be redefined by politicians. The nature of these rights carries with it the implication of individual responsibility, without which we surrender them.”

An "original" superbowl commercial?

I think not. This video appeared as part of one of the commercials during the Superbowl on 2/4/2007. The funny thing is, I received a copy of this in email on August 15, 2005.
My wife didn't remember it, but as soon as I saw the commercial I recognized it. I remembered that I had a copy of it on my hard drive at work.
So here it is:
I wonder how many people that saw the commercial thought that this was an original commercial? I wonder how many people that saw the commercial recognized it from back then.
Update: iFilm has the actual commercial. From the comments posted with it, it looks like very few people remember this from back then. Maybe one or two out of the first 90-odd comments.
