So, we heard about the separation of Church and State here in the U.S.of A., particularly from Jefferson, you know, that guy from the Commonwealth of Virginia, who wrote about it when he was merely Governor Jefferson. He also wrote and spoke about equality, liberty, happiness, and independence; things we can aspire to.
But was all of it just an illusion?
The doctrines of The Church and the doctrines of The State work, and have always worked, have they not, in lock-step with one another, and by design have produced, each in its own way, an aroma that can incense the body politic, and drive them, sheepishly, to conform to the powers that be---whether almighty gods, or flawed faux-mighty men?
Alongside every Chief has there not always been a Shaman eager to share the spoils?
