Hi LindyBill; Re: "As I have said before, The USA is the only country in the history of the world that was founded on an idea." Of course it's well known that the Soviet Union was founded on the idea of Communism, that Malta, controlled by the Knights of Malta, was founded on the idea of, [too complicated to insert here], that Nazi Germany was founded on the idea of racial something or other, that the Papal States were founded under the idea of Catholicism, etc., but here are some examples of surviving states that were founded on ideas: The idea* was that slaves should be purchased and given their freedom if they would return to Africa. ... A new country was established (Liberia) and the capital city Monrovia was built.* oneworld.org Israel itself was founded on this very idea - the right of all Jews to "return", after going on 100 generations, and even if they are not ethnic Hebrews. mediamonitors.net Re: "...
