MODERATORS
I’m going to repeat the reporter in Donald’s office when seeing the Declaration of Independence copy:
”oh my… god.”
Whoever did that deal must have been promoted.
Seeing as it was bought just after WW2, I doubt they still work there.
Shame
Is the magna carter the basis for American style of winner takes all culture? 51 percent want one way and 49 don’t get anything.
I any know about that, but it's the basis of a lot of English/American law. It codified Habeas corpus, for example.
This never happens to me!
Original copy
The original was a pdf that was lost when the Archbishop of Canterbury's hard drive crashed.
