This is not accurate. People are inspired by actions in faraway places, and acheive remarkable things. A finnish master of a secret society was ambassador to France while also Benjamin Franklin wa there, and they had discourses on the possibility of Finnish independence (following the precepts of Continental US independence). Amusingly enough Franklin thought that Finnish independence was a pipe dream. But the secret society did achieve in putting in force the motions that do make Finland an independent motion. The point there is, that had there not been the US "ideal" of independence, the whole plot might have been lost, and there need never have been any [[Anjala conspiracy]]. -- -- Jussi-Ville Heiskanen, ~ [[User:Cimon Avaro]] _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
