Four score and seven days ago our fathers brought forth on this Cyberverse, a new nation, conceived in Maroonity, and dedicated to the proposition that all pixels are created equal.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all pixels are created equal, that they are endowed by their Admin with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Infrastructure. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men and Women, 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 Defcon Level and Happiness.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the Scarab Kingdom, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these pixels, solemnly publish and declare, that these united pixels are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent pixels. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every forum and every irc channel, from every skype conversation and every nation, we will be able to speed up that day when all of Admin's children, lulzy people and serious business people, Marooners and Aquaphiles, Bluebites and Pinko Commies, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old spiritual:

Free at last! Free at last!

Thank Admin Almighty, we are free at last!

Too long, didn't read version:

I'm back. Okay, not quite as lengthy as I was hoping I'd make my return speech to be, but it turns out that the Gettysburg Address, the Declaration of Independence and the "I have a Dream" speech are a lot less relevant to CN than what I had hoped.

EDIT: Also, I'm DK for All Hallow's Eve.
