Finished

I finally got finished with this great book that I'd been trying to read for at least two weeks now. (I'm not a slow reader but when you have kids, they take up most of your time) But the book is called Washington's spies. It tells of how Washington had a spy ring going during the revolutionary war and it even dabbles in some about Benedict Arnold. But I did find interesting that during that time was when the first use of invisible ink was formulated and used. I'm not sure if it is true or not but I wouldn't put it past Washington to come up with that. Don't get me wrong, Washington was no saint either. He very much liked prostitutes, leaving him at odds with his wife a lot but as far as a president and a soldier, though, he was a force to be reckon with. If you read up on a lot of our forefathers, the majority of them weren't very nice as far as beings people persons but they were very smart ad far as government goes and military.
Who else can write a document that even to this day in time,2014,still use the document as it was said. I seriously doubt I can.
I believe that those of us who are fighting back against the government now believe in the same things that they believed in back then. Gerald O'Hara from"Gone with the wind" said best though. He said that land was the only thing worth fighting for, worth dying for. I for one agree with that. Without land, you would have nothing to call your own. You wouldn't have foundation on which to build home and family upon. Land provides food, shelter and if we treat it right, land makes us feel as if we're apart if something bigger.
Most of our forefathers were not Christians either, the people who discovered this land were but the ones who built the United States of America on that land were not. " In God we trust" was added to our money several years after most of our forefathers had died.
It's better to read up on history by way of books from stores or by history channel, even then you have to be skeptical on who's right. You surely cannot true the school systems one bit.
Til another time.......:-)
