RE: An American Marriage
Just so we're clear, I'm not saying that having a strong opinion is wrong. It isn't. In fact, having a strong opinion about a historical topic is the lifeblood of historical study.
What I'm saying is that to assign a motive for someone's beliefs, unless that person has admitted to it, is wrong. To say that Burlingame has an ax to grind or even an agenda is, at least in my viewpoint, assigning a motive. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln in the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
