OH! And how far are they rising this time? And for what purpose this time? Yes you have the right as do we all to demand your Constitutional rights. But is that, with all it's ramifications and conotations in this case what you really want? Why we, the South rose up before, ...is not something to be proud of, sir! And those that did were only a very, very small portion of the Southern population. To advertise that your feelings still support those of the original uprising, I thought we had grown beyond that and had learned from our errors. 'Tis a sad day indeed that you should do this, laddie. A sad day indeed.Before you do this, I suggest that you take a little trip down to Andersonville way and then spend a day or three in a histories library reading up on just what we did and why. Then if you should choose to continue your pursuit of your "rights" then so be it. I pray that you will be accompanied by the spirits of all those who were enslaved in the south and all those who fought for their "rights" to be free. I pray that their rights ring out louder and more clearly than yours to advertise that you still uphold what was done against them. Thank you for allowing me, sir, to exercise my rights and write to someone who enjoys golf as much as you seem to.
