I refuse to believe anything other than the North was completely innocent and noble in their attempts to free the slaves from the tyranny and greed of the south.

Seriously though it was a pretty good read. I was aware that the war was more about state rights vs. federal authority than slavery, but I was unaware as to how a lot of misinterpretation (such as the justice in the dredd scott case) and demonizing occurred to paint people of opposing views as bad people. It could maybe all have been avoided if both sides tried understanding and listening instead of trying to tear the other side down. This particularly applies to the North it seems.

Just reading about it kind of reminds me of a lot of the stuff that is going on today with the feds and the states clashing about what the Feds can impose on the states and even with individuals who claim the feds are imposing on their individuality (like the tea party movement), with the divide seemingly increasing between liberals and conservatives, it makes me wonder where it could all lead to.

I stopped watching CN after Johnny Bravo and cow and chicken. I do still watch Nick every now and then cuz I like spongebob and fairly oddparents.

This is terrific....thank you op.

Too many people think the job of the criminal justice system is to punish people. Hence why the justice system fails so badly at deterringcrime.

Let's look at this logically. He hasn't hurt anybody in 30 years, and he's a functional contributing member of society. The point of prison is to remove those that cannot legally function in society and rehabilitate them. It's suppose to be an alternative to punishment. Putting him in prison isn't going to do anything except fulfill some simple idea that moral justice can only be obtained through behavior conditioning.

No, I have never experienced a movie taste change like that. In fact, I still watch Fievel Goes West regularly. However I will say I have never stayed awake through a whole star wars movie.

I have no problem with adult stem cell research. I do have a problem with the fetal variety though.

Mitt Romney is obviously the best pick in my opinion.

I think he is a pretty clever guy. I don't think he deserves to be rich or famous more than anyone else though.
