This oak tree, planted with soil from Jamestown, Virginia, the first permanent English settlement in the New World, commemorates the bicentenary of the constitution of the United States of America. It stand in acknowledgement that the ideals of liberty and justice embodied in the constitution trace their lineage through institutions of English law to the Magna Carta, sealed at Runnymede on June 15th, 1215. Planted December 2, 1987 by John O. Marsh, Jr., Secretary of the Army of the United States of America.
Interesting. May the tree live long and remind all of its values.
We found it interesting that there were no British commemorations at the site.
an inspirational shot of this place, CP.
Thanks Ayush
Should I ask Theresa May to export some soil from Runnymede to Brussels?
So they can liberate us?
What? €20bn?!
Interestingly there are no English commemorations on the site at Runnymede!
Ha ha, and no brexiteer longing to be liberated ‘from Bruxelles’ seems to be noticing the mocking bird: A descendant of slaveholders and masters of genocide fed up with the self-proclaimed wave-rulers, when planting an oak refering to the Magna Carta. Ha ha ha.
It is for the common man (human) to uphold liberty and peace. Most leaders can never do this because they become corrupted by the power that they have at their hands.
If more people understood this they would realise that it was they that had the power. But sadly too many people are just sheeples that need to be led and are pap fed by the media of newspapers, magazines and endless news feeds. All lapped up and believed without a further thought from the sheeple.
Ah, what a reply! Thank you.
And, my dear? What do you think: Are we sheeples, you and I?
I don’t think you and I are sheeples. We like to think for ourselves
Interesting.
It was new to me
