Wonderful. Now list some of the religious wars in the 200 years preceding 1776.
There is a very good reason to leave God off the list.

There is a very good reason to leave God off the list.
my family isn’t a particularly traditional one. I’m the Lorelei Gilmore of the clan
and I’d taking an AA higher being in lieu of God. Just a notion that basic morality trumps (hah bad pun) even notions of the state (the nazis and their genocide orders), the constitution (the 3/5ths thing and slavery) and democracy/self-rule (the south during segregation). That ultimately we have a responsibility to do what’s right, with the humility that people often gets “what’s right” wrong.
Agree on the first two.
The South's claim to self rule was philosophical Swiss cheese. It relies on saying some people do not have a self.
Our republic is a democracy. I am surprised that any person with any pretense of legal training does not understand that.
You didn't answer the question.
The First Amendment plays it both ways -- you are free to practice your religion, but you are not free to impose your religion on me.
no it’s not. In a democracy the citizens directly vote for the issues. In a republic you vote for your reps. Plus in ours the reps are constrained by federalism, the courts, the bill of rights. For a smart guy you sometimes are awfully dumb. Oh I forgot...Magoo.
God, family and then soccer Grace. Lots of USL going on today all over socal Gracie. I was down in Laguna Niguel again this morning and sure enough, all the adult males are playing soccer again at the park. No Copes or health officials saying a word. These are just Americans enjoying some exercise. It sucks my dd can;t play a legal match here in socal.
USL final. 1-0. HH the GK made 10 saves. GG got fouled in the box and the parents went ape sh*t Espola. TT made her PK and the other team lost. It was heart break city for the player who made the foul. One side of parents thought the player faked her foul and should be kicked out with a red card. The other half thought it was a foul. I just saw the replay on the play and the defender clipped the smaller player who was faster. Good call by the ref
Democracy -- "a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives."

that’s funny. Gov 101 teaches the difference between the 2. Looks like there’s a hole in your education
Another update from USL U9 game in the IE. 14-1, need I say more. Recruiters were there from some new ECNL clubs looking for the next Mia. Parents from the winning team were shielding their star players parents from the grey hair guy and the other clubs coaches looking to build their club at the youth level. It makes sense to me and I would be out there scouting too. Well guess what, one of them got to the mom in the parking lot and told her how amazing her player was and in fact, she was too good to score 7 goals in 10 minutes because that doesnt happen in real soccer where everyone is faster or as fast and quick and taller and smarter and in better condition and this is how the cream rises to the top in pure soccer cream language. Anyway Espola, mom and dad have a meet up this week and their being offered free everything. No club fees, no uniform fees, no team fees, free shoes, air travel paid for and get this, per diam for food and shopping when on the road.
Grace, any USL scores up in Ventura?
My education taught that there are many flavors of democracy, including the one we enjoy in our republic.
My education was insane. You remember Kojak? Who loves you, baby? Well, his brother was my speech therapist all through grade school. I told you before and I will tell you again, i could not speak or read at to save the life of me. Oral reports or reading books out loud was manatory. No escape unless I tell them I feel sick or have to go #2 and will be a long time in the stall. I got out of it most of the time but not showing up to school or lying. I mean that bro. However, the teachers were told to force me to speak and stand in front of the class as they all laughed at me because I, I, I, ,I eye, eye, coo, coo, coo, say roster without saying freaking woo woo woo woster. Talk about things to over come as a youth. They forced me to publicly speak when i had a handicap dude. It's really like asking someone to walk in front of the class with legs. Anyway, Kojak's bro helped me through some of my most darkest of times as a youth. I had so much revenge and pay back in my blood that I got in trouble for lashing out at the nerds in class who laughed at me. This all happen outside and on the playground where kids took care of real business. Inside, i was a big moron and idiot. Melvins, pink bellys, trash cans, run past you all day, score on you, make sure your picked last as we all laugh at you. Hahahahaha. Kids will be kids and I'm sorry for how I handled my revenge. I was ADDDDHHDDSTFU and needed special help and back then, no one could help me except the Lord himself. PM me Espy and I'll fill you in. Most cant handle what I hear and see. I was told I was a dumb mute and will fail. Disruptive in class, speaks out of turn and just did naught stuff. Made teachers earn their money. We need a whole new system to help ALL kids learn. Rich, poor and all in between. Each baby born and each child needs to be protected and educated in a custom way that is just for that child and their brain.

Oh crush. You and your soccer
you pulled another magoo by using a colloquial definition when dad and I were having a discussion re political philosophies. Pat on the head. Now run along....your car’s over there.
Your magoo tell is showing again.
By "led off" do you mean the point where I attempted to correct your error about republic vs. democracy in our government?
When you choose to go off the road at least you commit to it!
