>>>(originally about Trent Lott's segregationist comments)<<<...Ever see a movie where they tried to apply today's norms to historical events?...A good example escapes me at this moment, but to make the point.. let's say some thoughtful person steps out of the crowd in Salem and protests the latest witch burning because it polluted the air, might lead to global warming in a couple hundred years, or maybe better yet.. that particular breed of head lice is on the endangered species list....

40 years ago how many integrated schools were there in the south? Isn't that the time period mentioned when Lott's "misdeeds" in college are brought up?...My high school in central Florida did not integrate until the late 60's. Very few of us that lived in that period would want things said in that era brought up in a public forum...I remember several kids making statements about "refusing to have black teachers"(cleaned that up to fit today's norms)...I remember joking about it at the time with some off the wall remark about "it was okay with me as long as it was not an english teacher".....

If that particular crack is all you knew about me...then tell me please just what conclusions can you draw about my character?....Is there any chance that Lott's statements reflected on what he knows about Strom from the last 20 years as opposed to a time period in which he was under 10 years old?
