| Anyone wanna... ...talk about the Civil War? I am currently reading a book about it and I think the lead up to the war is pertinent in context of the lead up to our invasion of Iraq at least as a comparison to big events of violence and how and why it may not have been avoidable.

| The book is... ...Bruce Catton; The Coming Fury The analogies to today are mine. The Civil War, as a time period is, to me, the window to the soul of what America is.

I don't believe in the non-believers? Is that the dreaded double negative?? So in reality you DO belive in athiesm? But how can you believe in something that is based on not believing? I think I'm going to stick to the church of Popeye.. I yam what I yam.
