"Early in her life, she suffered a severe head wound when hit by a heavy metal weight. The injury caused disabling epileptic seizures, headaches, powerful visions, and dream experiences, which occurred throughout her life. A devout Christian, Tubman ascribed the visions and vivid dreams to revelations from God."
- So wait, we took a US President off of the $20 to satisfy a bunch of cry babies and she was half crazy? Ah... fitting...drake-von-drake
- relax, a president has been replaced on the $20 before, and it's redesigned every few yearsmonospaced
- I know dude... it's really for anti-counterfeit measures, I am just making light of her being a God fanatic.drake-von-drake

- well, being a god fanatic is something that is protected in this country and is a basis of this nation's founding, much like the separation of church and statemonospaced
- I bet you love that huh? I'm not for organized religion BTW.drake-von-drake

- what if your what you know is true and everyone else is to stupid to understand and ridicule said individual, but they dont know.yurimon
- mono- you were just saying 'in god we trust' needs to go, a couple posts later you're defending the fact that 'god fanatics' are protected...pick a side, buddy!PonyBoy
