I think we did okay. Truth is a strange and difficult thing to find. As we each search for our bit s of truth lets don't run over or offend others that may be seeing our truth from a different prospective. Some don't care much about truth. They happen to have come out okay in a deal (WAR) and any other view simply can't be right. I believe there are almost always two right when WAR happens. Both sides have there right and are willing to die for it. So we pick, choose, or we are born to one side of truth and we hold fast to it no matter what. (To Bad) Knowledge is power. I would hope as thinking people with our cups running over we could discuss any topic give our view (OUR TRUTH) with respect for the other guy. State your Truth from a positive point of view and make your point. No need to demean the other point of view trying to make yours more right. Your not going to change History and you sure want change the other point of view. My hope would be we could learn enough to respect the other view without malice and mean spirited criticism about the person with the differing view. I have learned something about our History through this discussion but mostly I have learned about my cousins. It is really to bad when we can't discuses things with family or friends without name calling or belittling to make our view know. Mostly I have learned we as a people would rather not face and issue than to talk about it openly and honestly with each other. Now that's not too bad when it's about some things that happened a long time ago but how in the world could we ever expect any Nation to resolve any issues in there country without War. The Moral to the story. Don't be surprised when you here about this country or that killing it's people because they just can't talk about "THAT." My hope is that we could talk about any topic on this list, specially those that mean so much to all of us for so many reasons. I think the Table talk thing with regard to Religion, Politics or whatever makes for a dysfunctional family. I hope my family can always express themselves at the Table or anywhere else. Of course that in no way gives them the right to bad mouth somebody else. You can disagree with someone without being disagreeable. Your Pal The Nice Cousin Daddy Loves me Best! Cuz'en David
