The OG William Penn Statue.<\/p>\n

The Boul Willy P outside the Pennsylvania Hospital because he’s that fly.<\/p>\n

William Penn (WP)- Gilgamesh, Whats Shakin?<\/p>\n

Gilgamesh (G)- William Penn…What’s with the scroll?<\/p>\n

WP- The King of England, Charles II, owed my pops a fat stack and half, so he wrote me this charter for the biggest piece of land can imagine. And its all in the New World, so I came over here thinking that I better get to establishing a religiously tolerant settlement. Seems pretty reasonable to me, but everywhere I’ve been so far the King has shoved his religion down everyone’s throat.<\/p>\n

G- Is that a jab at me? I couldn’t care less about what religion my people followed as long as they obeyed my every command.<\/p>\n

WP- That sure sounds like you expected to be worshiped like a god, don’t you think? You were a tyrant!<\/p>\n

G- I ought to destroy you!<\/p>\n

WP- I don’t mean to come at you, but you heard about this thing called democracy?<\/p>\n

G- Penn, I’m from like 2800 BC, The Greeks and Romans didn’t start trying that til the 5th century BC.<\/p>\n

WP- Well I really think it’s going to be all the rage in the future, but might have to be amended or something eventually. That’s what I think is missing from Locke’s take on a constitution<\/p>\n

G- Oh F-uruK, I gotta write that down then!…Let me get my tablet out, How do you spell that?<\/p>\n

WP- \u00a0It’s<\/p>\n

\"I'm\"Yes\"Wow,\"I\"Wow,\"I'm\"Graduate\"Graduate\"Graduate<\/p>\n

…Is that the iClay MMCM?<\/p>\n

G- Nah, it’s the MMDCCC. This has a way better inscription resolution.<\/p>\n

WP- Dope! I thought about signing a 2-year contract with the East India Company, but I was able to negotiate this sweet deal with the local carrier, Native Lenape.<\/p>\n

G- I heard they’re not reliable.<\/p>\n

WP- Well my deal with them was actually upheld better than any other European-Amerindian treaty. Both on their end and on mine. I heard rumor somewhere that there was going to be a huge merger between 13 smaller names at some point and I’m in favor of that.<\/p>\n

G- Whatever works for you.<\/p>\n

WP- Good talk, let me know what you think of that democracy idea. Your input is important to me.<\/p>\n

G- OK we’ll talk again soon. And congrats on the win!<\/p>\n

WP- GO BIRDS!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
