BUT, I digress ~ and agree with your summation.... "Not much has changed in 200+ years"
Except for Womanly hygiene - those puritans had muffs that could choke out a neighborhood!!!
The Civil War is the same way. Were taught that it was fought over slavery, but thats not the case. The abolition of slavery was not the cause but a punishment to the south of sorts. The Civil War was brought about because the south had drafted their own Declaration of Independence of sorts to secede from the north half of the country. The religious and slavery points of the Revolutionary and Civil were a fairy tale written by the winners to make it seem justified emotionally to those the history was repeated to and to the people who lived during that time period.
Just like Iraq was fought because of "weapons of mass destruction." Years down the road well figure out the true motive there as well. It really doesnt sound very becoming to tell future generations, "yeah, we started a war because we didnt want to pay taxes," or "we started a war because we were pissed that half the country wanted to be their own country." Theres no romanticism in those explanations.Last edited by Twitch; 08-12-2013, 09:58 PM.HTTP 404 - Signature Not Found

I waited for days before posting this to make sure I wasn't saying what I want to wrong, but my whole point for posting it was you don't get to attack this country, its citizens, as well as our fighting men and women, then bitch and whine about how you get tortured, treated, confined or how your religious book gets handled. The rest of the post is something you can make up your own mind up on as many of you have already done. I do believe though that most everyone here would agree with what I just said.In memory of Gary Wright 9/13/2012

When I first saw this thread I almost puked. The thought that this bullshit hit the board made me lightheaded. The same jargon I see all the time, used to brainwash ignorant simpleminded rednecks with overly patriotic mumbo jumbo.
I'm quite pleased with the overall response from the board, you have restored my faith in our overall intelligence. Now excuse me while I go finish off this meth, and go wash my rusted up Firebird I keep out front of the trailer."Today, I shat a brown monolith ..majestic enough for gods to stand upon" BillZ aka horns666
