In Eldorado

Long ago a traveler while in El Dorado went to the king and said he knew a sure way to increase the kings revenues. The king promised him a percentage of his collection for his secret.
The traveler said,” Taxes”.
The king liked the idea so much that he made him straightaway his finance minister. Thus he settled down in that land and amassed in course of time so much wealth from taxes. The king died and a new king who came in found tax a convenient way to make money. The new king was very particular of doing everything strictly within the law. Thus he made it a law that all ministers who were till then exempted from paying taxes to pay up.
“ My ministers ought to set an example and serve the tax-paying public.” The king insisted.
The ministers were given great many titles but their wealth were confiscated by way of tax, ‘Tax on titles’ it was called; The king had made a law of modernizing laws of the kingdom. It meant more taxes that left none.
Integration principle is where every event of the past catch up with the present.
Thus Crusades of the past may be known as Jihad.
Did any one think God gave the Church /a nation license, be it by means of a Papal Bull or Bill of Rights, to roughshod others less fortunate than they?
