David,

You're right. I should have left out the first paragraph. I simply think those who argue the south's right to secede are, and this is my own words, "wasting their time". I don't care if the constitution does or doesn't address it. The War is over, although hostilities apparently are not.

Too bad we can't get past the issue and argue/debate issues that are more important.

I do, however, disagree that the "North" is still fighting the "South" everyday. That is a cop out on the same lines as the Whites are still fighting the blacks or the "cowboys" still fighting the "indians".

I will simply keep my voice off the board and let those who are so stuck on the CSA "Loss" and who feel the need to justify it to everyone, even those who sympathize with them complain back and forth among themselves. Probably the best thing about me staying off the board will be board readers not having to put up with my terrible typing skills.

If I do post, from now on I'll stay with one liners.

Sorry for the disruption. I guess those who responded (except you) did not understand my point. Reality vs. idedality?
