Politics in mixed company

Because it is written in a book doesn't mean it is truth. The Whigs had a very different vision: they wanted to deepen the socio-economic system by adding more and more layers of complexity, such as banks, factories, and railroads. I am amazed that they failed. In the mid 50s this belief about the Civil War was common knowledge. Reading does give you many perspectives, and it is another view that all of us need to study. Religious differences causes more wars than anything.

My Great grandfather also believed that man did not land on the moon. He went to his grave with that certainty. He made me think and question anything that the media may push on us. (I do believe that we have a sample of the green cheese)

How lucky us older folks have it, because we can see other view points without having to stay in the right box or getting our panties in a wad when others disagree. I have read many great history books, and do know that this great country is full of heroes from many colors. We are THE melting pot.

Bear Bryant was a great hero for America, not just the South.
