"Reconciliation", How many drop from an eyedropper filled with sewer water does it take to contaminate a gallon of fresh pure spring water? If you see the act done it only takes one drop before you would not want to drink the spring water. But if you don't see the sewer water added to the spring water how much would it take before you noticed something was wrong?
The same with reconciliation. We have so reconciled our principals that we are now doomed to repeat the same mistakes which lead us to that great war in the first place. We are even now still arguing the same things today of States Rights as opposed to Federal authority the same as they were doing in 1860.
