Individuals are the same the world over and are no different from now, to Dickens' time, to Shakespear's time, to Chaucer's time and before.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 King James Version (KJV)9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Oh! I do hope that is not what I saw today of Pelosi reading from the Bible. I heard her say Ecclesiastes and the rest was mumbled but I think it was the same chapter and verse. I’m surprised the Bible didn’t catch on fire in her hands. As if she wanted everyone to believe that she wasn’t a stranger to holding a Bible...No, siree - I’m not going to believe that!!!
I like your theory - your trick. Thanks.
