Yeah, the Sons of the Confederate Veterans tried to recruit me with the lure of a program on Conscientious Objectors in the Confederacy. What satisfies me about my life is that when I was a child I could get an ice-cream cone for what was then 5 cents, while a bottle of really bad beer cost my father 35 cents. Now (at least at the supermarket and in a six-pack) I can get a bottle of Sam Adams, a Heinekins, a Grolsch, a Dos Equus, a Molson's, or any number of other excellent and imported beers and ales for about the same price as the cheapest ice-cream cone.

"ok, soldiers, charge the men on the other side of the field. you have one shot and then start stabbing. btw, avoid their shot and attempts to stab you." great, great, great grand-daddy skeeter... "hey, howz-a-bout ambushing 'em from behind? howz-a-bout loading a gazillion guns and just shooting repeatedly from behind trees while others reload the spent weapons?" "son, thosE rr 'bout the dumbest ideas i've ever heard and why i'm a general and your a grunt! if that would've worked, don't you think the british would've done it years ago? now, go stab somebody..." UGGGGGH! ;-)
