You almost had me convinced then I read the entire thread, again. Actually I ain't buying it.

You see in this post you say you will defend Stephen's and Natty's right to their opinion, however in an above post you ask Jamie to "take a look." Sorry but you can't have it both ways.

Lincoln's death does not bother me one way or the other, the South was destoryed, thousands of families had to suffer because Lincoln would not meet a peace delegation and at least attempt to seek a solution, he was the enemy. Looking at these facts and had I been alive at the time I would have celebrated too.

The only question that has no answer is "what if"
