Many years ago the Printing press broke the strangle hold on information that the church and governments had. And because of the printing press the church split and religious persecutions became more rampant. Eventually people got so sick of the lack of freedom to worship they got in tiny boats and headed across the ocean to a new land.
Eventually that land became the most powerful nation on the face of the earth. Because of the freedoms built into the founding documents of this new land, the standard of living here is even that the poorest among us live in luxury compared to most people in the rest of the world.
Now many years late we are hell bent on removing any and all mention of religion from public places.
If irony could be turned into liquid form we would all be swimming in the USA for the next 100 years.
Now we have the Internet and the strangle hold that the MSM has had for the last 100 years is fading quickly. I hope I live to see how this New Media all turns out!
Someday people might hop into small ships and settle a new world, literally, in search of freedom.
