On the Roots thing, yes, Haley fudged a lot. There are slaves to this day in Morocco if I'm not mistaken. Most slaves shipped over were sold to slavers by victorious African tribes or by tribes not at war that merely wanted to get rid of criminals and troublmakers. That type of trade was ended long before the US Civil War by law anyway.

On the war fever thing--nobody I know ever talks about war. I think the 6" of snow we got each of the last two Sundays and the two hives of bees I ordered up from Georgia has gotten most of the small chat. Seems to be a disconnect. What CNN, MSNBC, or Fox say doesn't count.
