Tex, this comment is as unimaginitive as santos saying everyone's a racist. I'd expect more from you. However, I can understand why you would say that about yourself, which is why some find you so offensive. Some people work hard to overcome that natural handicap we're all dealt. Personally, I think U.S. history needs to be viewed from a 3,000 year perspective or it loses most of its meaning. FWIW, the Mormon Church's hostility to historical perspective is the thing that disturbs me most about it.
