Hello to all my Vick Kin. I know I have been silent for some time. (Very Busy) However I have keep an eye on ya'll. (Grin) I enjoyed the letter from Adela and the conversation concerning the flags. I would like to have some discussion of the Civil War. I know everybody has there base belief about who was right and who was wrong. After all we killed ourselves more in that war than ever before. Also I don't intend to change anyone's mind, or refit the war, what ever your poison. I was born in Brunswick Georgia and for the obvious reasons I have been sympathetic to the South's cause all my life. Mostly because of where I was born not because I studied or really tired to understand the right and wrong of the war. If there is such a thing. Mostly I believe whoever wins the war in question is the one that writes the History Books and is declared right. Like my Dad use to always say as he spanked all us kids, it takes two to fight, that made us both wrong. We were four boy's and one girl and if we tired to cover something up, or if Dad was not sure who did the dirty deed he spanked everybody there. This may sound bad but lots of times this would encourage the one that did whatever it was to come forward and confess knowing he was going to get it anyway, might as well cut the rest loose. Oh boy am I glad because I was nicer than my older brothers....(NOT) But we did have lots of fun. Lets get back to the point here. I would like to here your opinions and points of view on the Civil War. I wonder if like me your option has been formed by your relationship or by what you learned about the Civil War and why each side took the stance they did. The thing with OJ Simpson a few years ago and watching the great difference in what people believed to be true about the case has made me take a long look at my objectivity and fair-mindedness. I wonder just how fair-minded I really am. Could I sit in a jurors Poisson and be fair if the case was against my brother or somebody I knew and loved or felt like we had command ground? WOW! How do we really judge a matter? Are we as fair minded as we say we are? One last thing, I don't want to turn this site into a Civil War site. I am enjoying getting to know all my kin. I think a little discussion along this line will better help us understand who we all are a little better. So get your cup of coffee sit back and tell us what you think about the Civil War, who was right and who was wrong and why. What if the South had won that War? I have really enjoyed hearing the history of the Rebel Flag. Haven't you? When our forefathers fought each other they both thought they were right. They were all honorable men doing what they thought was the right thing at the time. Your Honorable Cuz David in Florida
