I will also dissagree with your assessment of the slavery issue viewed using 1860's standards that " it wasn't that bad." Occasionally I have a dream where I am in school and the class bell is ringing but I cannot locate my locker. Maybe you can tell me what that means?

Can't help you with that dream, Rich and if we disagree, that's O.K. too. I wasn't off the mark with you being a nice guy. That's a certainty.

I didn't say "it wasn't that bad", I said I don't agree with the "they should have known better" angle. Just my feelings.
