My comment:
Sheldon, given your endorsement of Hummel’s great piece on the squalid process that led to the Constitution itself, I’m surprised to see you endorsing (or at least being neutral about) the Declaration and American secession from Britain. Surely we libertarians should not be conned by the mythology about this event either? It was a mistake, no? Maybe not as squalid as the Constitution, but it led to it.
