I read the transcript instead of watching the video because I'm on dial-up and was too lazy to wait for it to downloand. Sorry Nash, will you forgive me?

There's another reference I don't get -- how could the Declaration of Independence demonstrate governmental ineptitude?

Am I thinking too hard about the example? The only government that could be implicated by the DoI is the British monarchy; a comparison to which to make some point about our own current government seems completely inappropriate.
