re: #526 MandyManners

Then Gov’t propaganda kicked in, (not counting the true stuff of early mormon history like polygamy), but the likes that we sacrificed children and ate them, blood libel, etc. Then we started getting the smack down on us.

Just like they did—and, in some cases, still do—to Jews!

It was interesting. A lot of the locals there loved the idea of freedom. Loved the music, loved the fashion, loved the money, just hated the ones who actually got to have it.

One guy I met and associated with, his grandma turned him into the Gov’t for owning blue jeans and listening to the Beatles. Spent 2 years in Siberia.

Yesterday my kid came home and threatened to tell his teacher on me for saying I don’t care about the Earth. (He didn’t catch the sarcasm) The look and seriousness my kid said it to me gave me pause. He’s 6.

Can I link a grandma turning her son in to a son turning a dad in when something is crammed down their throat via government? Yes. Yes I can.

Which is why I am doing what I have to to even put him, teh kid, on a moderate footing when it comes to my own theological ideas.
