Re: You need to reread your history books.
quote:
I`ve always thought it odd that a nation founded by, among others, religious groups fleeing persecution by mainstream church/state alliances, should have descendants who want to revive the unholy union as a mainstream. Here we are,the most educated (knowledgewise)generation in the history of the world, and trying to resurrect failed formulas. If it never worked in the past, why bother? Probably because it is all about CONTROL.
Then you must become familiar with those religious factions that have no use for democracy nor with the right of every man to think for himself. Shrouded in the cloak of secrecy and walking on pussy feet in hallowed halls, these factions are, indeed, about control and power.
We are, alas, not knowledgeable in such things, believing we are protected by our constitution and our laws. That constitution and laws are being eroded is clear and so is our undereducation.
