That's cool. I'll check.

Yes, I got the photo. She died too young. What kind of cancer?




Moonlight Mile sent another diatribe. I did not read it, except for
the first paragraph and the last. Too distressing for me to read the
writings of fools and nuts. I will no longer read nor respond to him
or David. David is unwise, but Mile is a nutjob. It would be well if
you and DXace and all others ignore them; maybe they'll go away. I do
not participate in these groups to find kooks, flakes, and haters. I
took history in college, and enjoyed it. Made excellent grades.
History is important, it should be studied carefully, but very rarely
is. Something I noticed in American history is that the country
should not be here. From the beginning and through every period of
American history, we've overcome pitfall after pitfall, beat all the
odds. The odds are overwhelming that we still exist, and exist with
so much power. Like Paul Harvey said, we have only 5% of the worlds
population, but half of all its good things. I firmly believe the
hand of Providence is in it. There is so much that should've gone
wrong; a benevolent first president that could have become king, but
guided a young Republic. The first of Presidential elections went
with a smooth transition of power (there was much enmity between
parties involved) which never occurred before in history. And on and
on and on.

Something else I learned: Judge past historical players NOT by your
own standards, or the present day standards. They must be judged by
the standards of the period, and of their PEERS. When they lived, the
future did not exist! No brainer, ha.
Too easy to fall into the hindsight trap. The US had many faults and
did some bad things, but the only proper way to judge her is by
comparing her to other peoples and nations during the relevant periods.
