Fascinating discussion over on Volokh over the use of unalienable vs. inaliable in the Declaration.

As far as I'm concerned it's "inalienable." It's a Latin root and therefore should have a Latin and not Grmanic prefix.
Besides, while the printer may have used unalienable, every copy in Jefferson's own handwriting uses the proper Latin form.

A blog about guns, guitars, filk and folk music, physics or... whatever else takes my fancy.
