rapid deceleration syndrome

(abbreviated to RDS)

Term for the effects of travelling at great speed and then hitting an immovable object... such as cuts, bruises, broken limbs, paralysis or death.

Originally military slang, but now used by other groups, for example:
Rock climbers: The effects of falling from a great height.
Cyclists: The effects of misjudging a corner and hitting a wall straight on.

Severe Rapid Deceleration Syndrome or SRDS usually refers to death.

"Is Mike out climbing today?"
"No he took a whipper yesterday, and he's at home recovering from a case of rapid deceleration syndrome"

"I need the day off work to go to a friends funeral - he caught a fatal case of RDS while out biking the other day"

declarationism

The legal and moral philosophy in the United States of America which proclaims that the first law enacted by the American Congress is the Declaration of Independence and that the principles set forth within this document are legally the defining factor for all aspects of American government. Declarationism holds the perception that all people are entitled to dignity through Natural-Divine Law, which guarantees the rights to Equality, Life, Liberty, the Pursuit of Happiness and Government by Consent (or just consent). Declarationism also recognizes that these rights belong to all people, not just U.S. Citizens.

Divinity, God, is recognized as existing yet encompasses and transcends the perceptions of the world's religions, including Atheism (i.e. all hold parts of the same truth.) Thus "God" is the force that causes things to exist rather it be by Intelligent Design Theory, Big Bang Theory, Innate Intelligence or other means.

Both the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights were written using Declarationism.
