Talk:American Enlightenment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I didn't write this. It was originally the whole article at "American Enlightnment" (sic), straight up, no jokes:

Many believe that the American revolution was directly linked to the enlightenment and that is was an eneviable outcoume. I find no supporting evidence of such a statement. While it can be said that a child will eventually leave thier parents there is nothing that states that the child weill rebel against those pareents. This is something done by the childed based on the way they are treated and shown how to treat issues. I believe that the American colonies can be seen as such a child. America was destined to leave her mother country, enlsnd, hoever it was not enevitable that she do so with such violence and rebellion. Much of the reasons behind the rebellion were based on the way Britain began treatin the colonies, much as a mother would as she becomes menopausal. Based on teh way the relationship began with the conlinoines and britain , the things could very well have reqmined as they were for a lot longer. Eventually the americans could have separted themselves as a free nation, but without all the violence that ensued.

I think I have an idea for a PhD thesis: Great Britain as Post-Menopausal Mum: A Canadian Perspective! Teehee. QuartierLatin1968 00:37, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
