 I subscribe, as I'm sure many of you do, to many other lists. One of these
 is a "news" list that put out the following. I assume you will see it in
 Saturdays papers. Here are my thoughts on the subject:

If he weren't a "history professor" and didn't know better, I would
recommend that someone remind this jerk that the plantation owner had
almost no tax burden whatsoever, and, further, no regulation within the
construct of the southern US until  1964.

Taxes were low, "inner-city" education resembled the Gingrich proposals
more than today's schools do, and > there was nothing like the present day
"welfare" until the '30's.

How did the fight against racism fare in that environment ? Gingrich
knows...do you???

I am SO disgusted with the IDIOTS that keep on talking this ignorant BS
(it's been dominant, in the media, at least, since 1979-80). All it took
was a few TV shows to turn
these morons around (if they needed turning...)?  Please, either read your
(OUR!!!) history, or go away already.
