Steve I'm currently reading Shelby Foote and it's so refreshing to read about a conflict without the constant reminders of black suffering, as if this were the only possible lens through which to view the world. I came across one of your favorite punching bags in Mr Foote's wiki, where I saw that Tennessee (sp?) Coates, who has written several books about himself, claimed that Shelby Foote, who dedicated his life to studying the civil war, could not possibly have understood the conflict due to his whiteness. One is torn between feeling contempt or envy for this awe inspiring, invincible self regard.

British and European governments hate their own people and think Americans have too much freedom. I don't regard them as allies.
