So you may have heard that there was demanding prayer then george West Washington szeged on their knees and pray but it never happened. That is a false interpretation of a certain amendment. In the first half and it just kept coming. But the source in america there is the perceived us sense of fragmentation that has been in the past and still are. That is how they get power and how they believe we become one it will lead exactly the same thing. Those forces will continuously drive to make the founders reflect those beliefs. It comes down to basic american sociology. That is not a very good answer. I wish i had a better one. [laughter]. I was wondering if the founding philosophy of the country was based on intel. Outcome is still works as well as it does . And many people believe it is the foundation of modern society they think it works all the

After each explosion these daredevils swarmed over the cliffs, prying loose rock and clearing the walls of debris. In november 1932, the Colorado River was diverted. Under control for the first time in its history, the river flowed around and past the site. Men in trucks dumped earthen rock embankment across the canyon below the openings forcing the river from its age old bed through the huge diversion tubes. A second earth and rock dam was thrown across the tunnel downstream keeping water from backing into the foundation area.

Men and machines dug 135 feet below the old river level to reach bedrock for the dams foundation, excavating over 2 million yards of rock and sand. As clean up of the dam site exposed the ancient bed of the Colorado River, geologists read the history of what happened ages ag
