Re: Kerry's fault? - pt2-PURITANS

Not all of America founders were persecuted Puritans-Pilgrims or whatever. Georgia was penal colony(like Austrailia), Maryland was founded by Lord Baltimore, a business minded Catholic and New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia, Pennsylvania (founded by a Quaker-very open minded lot) as well as the Carolinas were get rich schemes. The popular conception of puritanical America is a misconception. Shit in Boston people looked at what was going on in Salem and said hells bells we have got to stop this shit. And eventually i did stop. Religiously speaking the United States is no more crazy about religion than anywhere else. If you give folks an inch they take amile....ever hear of the 100 Years War? That had a little something to do with religion. The English Civil War (started by Puritans..O.K.) OR how about the "troubles" of Ireland.. I don't know people take religion and money and mix it up and when they do what do you have? Alot of dead people like we have now all over the world. The scariest thing about all this Bushit id...the Crusade take of both sides in this war that will never end.
