Just an observation of the ravings of Bruce Carpenter (Professor?) here on the list. It started out to be very interesting and informative. Then degraded rapidly. The descendants of said Bruce Carpenter should be duly alarmed that the insanity shown here may rear it's ugly head sooner or later down the lines. Personally, I find intellectual types very tiresome as they always love to exercise their brain's at other's expense, or so they think. I'm glad my Carpenter line originated from the Zimmerman's of Germany, otherwise, I might be worried too! Sincerely, Mike Carpenter Bruce E. Carpenter wrote: > > What is bigoted about my statement?
