Ten Commandments Reflections

  RELIGIOUS "DEMOCRACY" BY DAVID ARTHUR WALTERS February 2005 The American set of Chosen People, frustrated Old Testament Jews, in possession of gunpowder and the manifesto of Moses’ guilty conscience – the Ten Commandments – seized yet another land promised to them by their instinctive greed.
