I dream to continue the incremental approach to making a better society that is part of the human condition and part of America, understanding that you incrementally make a better society.
Where did I learn that from?
I learned that from the Bible.
People who are steeped in the Bible know two things.
They know many things, but two of the things they know are the inherent tragic nature of life, and that the only approach to making a better world is incremental.
That's why the Bible did not fully ban slavery.
It just had a series of laws like you cannot return an escaped slave to his owner.
Imagine that?
That's really, that was promulgated 3,000 years ago.
You cannot return a slave to his owner.
Ten Commandments do not steal.
Most people don't know, so I suggest that you pick up the Rational Bible, the Exodus book, which explains the Ten Commandments, and the original understanding of do not steal is do not steal, People.
You cannot steal people.
That would have ended the transatlantic slave trade before it began, had people listened to that.
Not to understand the inherent tragedy of life is to enter the world of destruction.
So that you actually believe that Abraham Lincoln was not a good man.
Do you understand how bad the left is?
That in San Francisco, they have taken down the name Lincoln from schools in San Francisco?
