Blue, you are a treasure sometimes. I am grateful you spend the time you do in the Library of Congress. As a Texas born citizen of the US and whose maternal great grandfather fought for the South in the Civil War I am gratified to hear you state the facts upon which the mentality of much of the South still functions. I deny my Tennessee slavery ancestors and gloat when something even to this day embarrasses them, such as removal of the Confederate flag. The BS that it is just "tradition" always make me laugh. Sorry to be off topic but I think Abe Lincoln was a saint for the fact he survived that mad wife of his for so long. To hear quotes of his madness and his "tyranny" remind me of Andy Warhol's observation/advice/whatever about everybody having 15 minutes of fame, so I guess it's so long Abe. His speeches, I must maintain, do show some promise of his having had the potential of a writer of possibly some note. But then I AM old fashioned. If we have a meltdown like what he faced in his time today, anybody have any ideas which politician on the scene today might do as good a job? Bush, anyone? Gore, anyone? Nader, anyone? God, by whatever name, help us all. Jim Black
