Thanks subdjoe.
That is well worth reading.
The sole purpose of government is to protect your liberty. The Constitution is not to restrict the people, but to restrict government.  Ron Paul

The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first. - Thomas Jefferson

Still, Casey is often asked to explain himself--not to his fellow re-enactors or SCV members, but to people who just can't understand where he's coming from.

"People say to me, 'Do you support slavery?'" he said.

"I say, 'No. I support preserving Southern history and telling it the way it is.'"

Keep the faith guys, there are folks out there who really "GET IT!"
"Men do not differ about what
Things they will call evils;
They differ enormously about what evils
They will call excusable." - G.K. Chesterton

"It starts when you begin to overlook bad manners. Anytime you quit hearing "sir" and "ma'am", the end is pretty much in sight."-Tommy Lee Jones in No Country for Old Men

If, as one contributor seemed to claim in another thread, most people get taught in school that slavery wasn't the major cause of The War, why that is the question that is at the top of list of questions asked Confederate re-enactors  (well, as a cannoneer I get asked "Is that cannon real?" more, but if I'm away from the gun it is some version of "Why do you support slavery?").  Have to wonder where they get that idea if not in school.
