I think human nature will overcome such negativity. Take a look at the folks on this thread- each and every one (including myself) obviously thinks very highly of him or herself - no matter what the general opinion is, if there is a general opinion. That "nattering nabobs" stuff is nonsense, but then look from whence it came. I hardly think anyone tries to overcome every "good thought" we have ever had- do you have some coalition in mind which does this? I have certainly never met anyone, who lived here, who had such a low opinion of the country. That was certainly not what I was suggesting, and so I must assume you are merely using my post as a means to address your own agenda. We are hardly posting to each other- if we are merely going to post our positions and ignore the other persons post. I don't believe I said anything about rating our ancestors by contemporary standards either- I happen to agree that one should not judge an historical figure outside the context of his or her own time.
