“1857? Really? And this is somehow relevant to people and problems of 2011?Get a life.”
Are you serious? Everything in American history is relevant to our own time. Aren’t you ever intrigued by events of the past? We understand our own place in the world by investigating and understanding the people and ideas that have come before us. Wow, you must be a very dull person indeed.
JTT comes across as a burier & censor of historical truth who would prefer to hit the delete button when it comes to discussing 19th century Mormonistic massacres.

Well while you all are at it let’s not forget how many members of the southern mainstream religions segregation treated blacks and strung them up on trees!
It took a civil war and many years later (1964) to put an end to this!
No blacks ever terrorized or drove these mainstream folks out of their home in the dead of winter.
Two wrongs don't make a right but if you choose to continue to carry the torch at least put it in some perspective how few lost it and did evil deeds!
