Missouri Executive Order 44 (eat your heart out, George) was signed by Lilburn Boggs on October 23, 1838, and ordered that Mormons in the state be “exterminated” or exiled. This destroyed Boggs’ political career, but the order wasn’t formally rescinded until 1976 as a goodwill gesture by Governor Kit Bond. Zombie laws and orders are a hell of a drug that I imagine keep lawyers up at night.
Bear in mind, I don’t like AI either. Which is why I exercised the intellectual effort to collect sources I know firsthand to be reputable and share them publicly.
This is real life experience for me. I don’t need a bot to give the Cliff’s notes, and I don’t want it to.
If I’m doing a deep response on an issue I care about, I go deep into sources, and post them along with my rants.
This was just an off-hand comment, and I was not motivated to go through a lot of work for something I care very little about. The blurb came up, my first instinct was to reject it, but I read it, and it said pretty much exactly what I wanted to say, so why re-invent the wheel?
If you want to verify it, feel free to research it yourself, and if you find that it’s wrong, excoriate me for my laziness. But if the statement is accurate, and you just want to beat me up for posting a factual statement, them I’ve got no time for such nonsense.
