The Constitution also was never considered particularly significant by anyone until Benson came along and decided it represented divine Providence, because he discovered what nobody else had ever detected, that it framed the principle of a limited government, a concept formerly alien to all political thought.<br /><br />So whatever you all were thinking about whence your notions of freedom and dignity of the individual came, they <i>really</i> came from Mormons sneakily baptizing you while you were taking a swim or relaxing in the tub or whatever.Chiu ChunLinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519192610708043962noreply@blogger.com
