By today’s standards King George III was a very mild tyrant indeed. He taxed his American colonists at a rate of only pennies per annum. His actual impact on their personal lives was trivial.

We whip the groaning masses of the country towards a theoretical future happiness, which only we can. ↗

The governments and their policies have failed, the church is the last hope of the common man, I value a church that is a home for all. ↗
