[Stephanie]

I agree with Vincent wholeheartedly. So many people are ignorant of history that they gullibly accept and promote propaganda (like that of the Christian Coalition) that promotes the past as being a so-called ‘simpler time.’ Yes, it was a simpler time for straight white Christian men, perhaps, but for the rest of us… give me a break. You know what I found fascinating, while doing some research the other day? The 1908 Almanac of my state’s history (http://www.rootsweb.com/~okbits/1908a.html) featured items like this: Mar 9: Sensational discovery that a college student in Oklahoma City boiled human bodies in his back yard. Mar. 29: Carl MATHEWS of Newkirk remarries divorced wife he tried to kill. April 18: At Chickasha, Wesley JOHNSON, a negro, was fined $500 and sentenced to eight months in jail for attempting to embrace a white woman. July 5: Stork pays 19th visit to Mrs. Anna RAIDT, Oklahoma City. Dec 23: James GARDENER, negro, lynched at Henryetta for killing Albert BATES, a white man who refused to let him have a livery rig. Dec 24: Armed citizens of Henryetta patrol its streets, fearing negro uprising because of lynching of GARDENER, negro murderer. Dec. 25: More than 100 negroes migrate from Henryetta to avoid possible race conflict. …Um, woman remarries husband who tried to kill her? Another women having 19 children? Lynchings? Migrating to avoid race wars on Christmas? I’ll take 2008 over 1908, thank you very much.
