Thomas Jefferson got the Words and Idea from
a Chinese Fortune Cookie with a piece of paper
{Fortune} inside.
On that piece of paper {Fortune} : Written in Chinese
was the Words :
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.
Strangely . . . Thomas Jefferson wrote the Words
down in English . . .
Even Stranger -because- There is NO Record of
Thomas Jefferson being able to read/speak Chinese.
