quote: Originally posted by lord of the mark "Because Church and State were closely related, religious dissension and disagreements were a threat to the union of the young republic of the Seven United Netherlands. Supporters of religious freedom and tolerance were soon accused of high treason. In order to preserve the country’s unity, Stadtholder Prince Maurice (1567-1625) took the side of the Reformed Church. This opposed him diametrically with councilor Johan van Oldenbarnevelt (1547-1619) who stuck to his political ideas and his pleading for freedom of religion in his conflict with the prince. In 1619 van Oldenbarnevelt was beheaded on charges of high treason at the ‘Binnenhof’ (Inner Court) in The Hague." ??????

Rhode Island is a cool state, although they do talk funny. They can't make up their minds if their Bostonians or New Yorkers.

But it does have the historic City of Newport, where my parents used to take me for weekends when I was a kid. Its purty.

quote: Newport is.. the home to the Newport Tower, Salve Regina University, Hammersmith Farm and the Touro Synagogue, the oldest Jewish house of worship in the United States.

Newport is also the home of the Tennis Hall of Fame and a collection of some of the more rediculously huge mansions in the US (it used to be the big summering place for the ulta rich during the Gilded Age).

It gave one group of religious fanatics a place to move to after they got into a fight with another group of religious fanatics. It also makes a nice tax shelter for rich WASPs.

You're not famous enough or rich enough. Brown, the most cash-strapped of the Ivies, has a bit of a reputation for lowering the bar in exchange for a shot at fundraising possibilities or big future donations. IIRC, it worked like a charm with John-John.
