Since you refer to yourself as a youth I will assume that you have never been taught the true history of this country, if you had you might have a different outlook. I have yet to meet a person under forty, regardless of his level of education who knows even the history we were taught in grade school back in the fifties. No, I don’t refer to the history of the American civil war, I refer to history of all types, World history, American history etc. I have spoken to recent college graduates who majored in history but could not name one battle in the American Revolutionary war and in fact some cannot even name the country we fought for our independence. I don’t meant to be unfair, you may be the exception but unless you are the exception you probably don’t know enough about the real facts to have an opinion.

I make a comment about ME not honoring Robert E. Lee, then you go and make it personal by questioning my lack of education? You know absolutely nothing about me, outside of what you may read on FR. I'm pretty sure that my educational background hasn't been mentioned much on here.

As for my name, it was chosen almost 11 years ago when I joined FR. Again, that tells you absolutely nothing about how educated I am.

As for my opinion of Robert E. Lee, and the democrats who ran the south during and after the Civil War, I don't need a elementary/middle school/high school/college professor to tell me how to think, or to tell me what happened. I am smart enough to read on my own, form my own opinions, and to debate them without questioning someone's educational background.

Your animus toward youth may be well intentioned, but your superior attitude leaves you vulnerable to criticism of your utter lack of grammar, capitalization and punctuation rules. sd
