I'm reading 'London' currently and just went through a chapter with that 'exchequer board' to keep the tax calculations straight. I'd never heard of it before.

His Mormon followers are a sweet sheeple and have already swallowed great lies to keep the tenets of their faith. Why are the biggest lies the most believable to vulnerable humans? I wonder how their University professors and scientific class manage the cognitive dissonance?

And they are indoctrinated from the cradle. My dad became an atheist after he began to question his Momonism.

Oddly, I married one and tried to convert. I wanted the protected family life. I could never fully accept the mythology. We divorced.

actually CELEBRATE these types of sociopaths! They're "type A personalities"! They're "successful businessmen"! They're "respected leaders"!!

They're disgusting sociopaths, and the Hoi Polloi should be reminded multiple times a day how dangerous and destructive are these pathetic human beings.

(from "Sons of Liberty&quot

General Thomas Gage was a brutal man who is sent by the King to handle the unrest in Boston by any means necessary. Gage puts the city on lockdown, instructing his men to crack down on any signs of resistance. The brutal tactics he employs put the city on edge and his soldiers actions ultimately light the fuse on a rebellion that cannot be stopped.
