Pilgrims & Indians...

My "warped bizarro (sic) world" is called the study of history. You might learn something.

Franklin's role was that of peace-maker, leaving the structural development to other, younger men. Yeah, I know, Ben Franklin was an Indian, right? Little Red Schoolhouse at work, eh?

I'd say you need to go back. Because your history lesson was inaccurate. And why the sic? "Bizarro" was spelled correctly:

Anyway, back to topic:

US Constitution <----- Articles of Confederation <----- Albany Plan <------ Iroquois Great Law of Peace

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albany_Plan_of_Union

"The plan was never effected, though after the Revolutionary War,the Albany Plan of Union was used to help write the Articles of Confederation."

Benjamin Franklin took many of the ideas from the Iroquois Confederacy in what is now Upstate New York.[1] He visited the Iroquois in 1744 and 1753, and at least once, in an 1751 open letter, held up the Native American Confederacy as a model for colonial government.[1] The visit in 1753 was at least partial inspiration for Franklin:

A year later, at a joint meeting of Iroquois and colonial delegates in Albany, Franklin proposed his “Albany Plan,” the first attempt to unite the colonies, a combination of Iroquois and European elements. The Albany Plan failed to gain ratification by the colonies, but served as a rough draft for later federal designs of Franklin for the Articles of Confederation, as well as his part in debates over the Constitution."

Right.

And the Constitution owes its entire existence to squid, without which it never could have been penned in the first place.

And the colonists learned how to be truly indpendent from the Natives.

The answer is always 42.

Well we still 'hide' it from the parents. My other sister had a garage which we called the smokers place. I'm pretty sure my parents at least guess at this point that we might be smoking something other than cigarettes out there.... But this sister has no garage but she does have a basement.

You should come party with us! lol

Back in the day; all the cousins would go smoke it in an old barn or shed. It was a too long a walk for the old fuddy duddies to come check on us. One time someone yelled we should shut the door so the smell wouldn't get out. I told him "WTF difference does it make in a 100 yr old barn with 2 inch spaces between the boards and more holes than swiss cheese?"

Nothing wrong with the occasional peace pipe.
