Mahlon and Chase: Joe can defend himself. All of us have at one time or another heard just the kind of remark you alluded to in your post. You must admit that, in the politically correct educational world, Mr Burns would have been taught the version of history we find so one sided. it causes us to use a bit too much hyperbole from time to time. however Joe may have meant it, Please try not to take it personally. We don't really know what kind of teacher you are, Mahlon , but I for one will assume you are a good one. Please continue to visit and post. we might all learn something. Stan
