How Lincoln Was Dissed

[brtmchl]

Liz,
I was speaking from a mindset of the present. I thought that people who were not trolling for an argument would have picked up on that. It wasn't even intended as a serious post. But, I do in todays world, even in the most liberal mindsets of " it takes a village " think it is strange and a little disturbing to breast feed another's child. I am not a woman so I can not speak on their behalf, I must admit to being wrong from time to time about as to what a woman may be thinking, even though I would bet that most might find it strange also. No, Liz, I never intended to imply that Mary Lincoln posted signs instructing sick mothers to bring thier hungry babies to suckle from her bosom for her own enjoyment.
Thank you for the history lesson, I completely overlooked the fact that there were no disposable bottles of similac in the mid nineteenth century.
I also have some family in West Virginia, I will make sure to ask them about " the good 'ol days " if their Great Grantparents forced slaves to nurture their past relatives, because Great Grandma couldn't put down her lemonade. After all, all Southerner's are racist and had to own slaves somewhere along their line.
