The importance of indepentance...like the United States? Well...if we didn't declare our indepentance we would all be British wouldn't we? We wouldn't have our freedom of speach, religion, or press. We would be completely different than the America we are today, wouldn't we?

Yes.  Here's why:  when in a social situation it is every participant's responsibility to ensure that all of the participants can enjoy the highest amount of value from the experience.  Speaking a language that you know some of the others don't understand (unless you're explaining stuff about it to them) ensures that those people experience significantly diminished value.

None at all. The human gives himself too much importance. Essentially, the role of mankind is as unimportant as the role of rocks, mosquitos and, actually, anything in the universe. However, mankind would not survive had it accepted the absolute pointlesness of its existance and so, our elevating of humanity's status above something what it really is seems only natural.

It was important because it was one of the factors that led to the American Revolution. The American delegates at Pennsylvania came up with the Dec. of Independence to show how they had suffered under British rule, and how they planned to use freedom.\n\nThe Dec. of Indpendence was kind of a guiding light to the soldiers and other citizens of US. It always had colonists thinking of what lie ahead - freedom.

I totally agree - I think our humanity makes it essential.  Life is difficult - I don't know anyone who hasn't felt like giving up at some time or another.  However, if we have a vice we feel like we can depend on, something we feel like we can fall back on, we are stronger for it, even if it sometimes weakens us.  Everyone has an addiction, be it drugs, friends, God, shopping, music - we all depend on something.

Personal independence is only a state of mind. People will never be totally independent. I will always depend on a bus-driver whenever I have to travel, or on a doctor, when I'm ill. The point is what or who you want to be independent from, and work for that. When you're done, you've become independent from that thing or person, and you'll begin to fight for your independence from another thing or person. But it never ends.

Probably niether. Trivial in most respects, but a world in your own worth. We're either all everything or all nothing. Possibly both depending on the perspective. Just enjoy it wherever you are.

Look at both sides of each party, identify with which sides holds your beliefs and there you go. You can also be an independant which means you do not subscribe to a particular political party and just vote for whoever you identify yourself with more at the time of election.

I agree with your premise and conclusion. I would add that the quality that is the most important in seperating us from the animals is faith. The ability to choose to believe or not believe. To search and want to know your Creator. Even those who reject God, do so with high thought process and passion.

I think that mutual respect and adoration for one another are very important.  I think that if you have those things, then all of the other things, like trust etc., will fall in to place.

It's important always.  Everyone should also remember that's it's as much freedom OF as it is freedom FROM religion.\n\nhttp://atheism.about.com/od/churchstatemyths/a/freedomfrom.htm
