Its a brutal bunch we got around here.
I was reading recently that one of the heretics inEngland just prior to Henry VIII's break with Rome died a slower, and more painful than usual death because the fire kindled slowly.
Which reminds me. There was something that really jumped out at me in that book. And, tells me thatsome things about human nature never change.
The book included information about HenryVIII's machinations to legalize his divorce from Katherine of Aragon so he could marry Anne Boleyn. Of course, if it had been cleanly legal, there would have been no machinations necessary. There were several examples of people looking forcreative ways to stretch the meaning of the law, or get around the law, or to prove the law meant something other than what was written, in order to achieve the desired outcome. As compared to just approaching the problem legally and based on a plain reading of the law.
Hmmmmm. Sounds like the story of the 2nd Amendment over the last 40 years.
