The first I heard of Ken Burns was when, some seasons back, he produced a slide show justifying Lincoln's War which killed 600,000 Americans. Never liked him. Burns I mean. Well, Lincoln either.

Burns' slide show did introduce me to “Ashokan Farewell”, a waltz by Jay Ungar. Great piece.

“In comparison to the privileged slave owners of the day the analogy’s not completely without merit.”

x said “slave owners.”

Ashokan Farewell was written by damn yankee Jay Ungar so you’re free to hate on it too.

Trump’s a Yankee and I assume you voted for him? If you did, why? Ain’t we Northerners all supposed to be ‘’libtards’’ according to Johnny Rebs?

“Lincoln's War’’? Didn't the South open the ball with violent secession and start bombarding Ft. Sumter?

And in other news, on this day in 1864 the two-day Battle of Nashville ended with Union forces under the command of Major General George H. Thomas defeating Confederate forces commanded by General John Bell Hood.

“Didn’t the South open the ball with violent secession and start bombarding Ft. Sumter?”

“No” and “No”.

The voting to secede was peaceful.

And the South didn’t “start” bombarding Ft. Sumter. That came months later.

Lincoln had the band play the captured tune “Dixie”. We'll
do a cultural appropriation of Ashokan. Don't try to stop it.

I'm in agreement...........Why, are we paying for PBS..and NPR?

Why?

I know the "left" say's...it's just a small amount of money....!!

But I say....it's plain sense to eliminate..wasteful spending.

Have a budget like most households have to have....

It can be trimmed slowly....so to not cause big economical waves...I'd be good with that.

But prove to me.... you are cutting back on the waste...and the stuff that the private sector can do...if they want to.
