Alternative History

Yesterday I went to the first Smithsonian Museum I have ever been to. The Museum of American History. I have to tell you what a refreshing experience it was.

After finally being run out of the Museum at closing time and finding Jennifer waiting on the front steps outside, we sat down on the steps to rest and reconoiter.

I asked Jen, "You know what I find most interesting about all the displays?"

"What?" She said.

"I have looked at three days worth of American History now, all over Washington, DC and I have yet to see one single reference to Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, or The Book of Mormon. We really do get a distorted view of American History when all we get is filtered through the eyes of Utahans."

P.S. I haven't found anyone who didn't know New Mexico is a state of the United States.

Really? All the way across the country and they know NM is part of the US? Because I met a few people at skyline that didn't know....

Wait a minute ... No Hill Cumorah? No Nephite/Lamanite depictions? I suppose they didn't even reference the site of the Garden of Eden (in Missouri).

The only explanation is that the devil has deceived and clouded the minds of the non-LDS (which is to say, 'anti-Mormon') establishment, blindng them & making them leave out the 'true' history of the Americas, which equals persecution of Mormons, which in turn proves yet again that it is the true Church.

See how easy that was? I think I've finally learned the twisted art.
