[Non-Sequitur]

I want some of what you're smoking, FRiend. C'mon, pass that doobie.

I suggest you read up on Jeff Davis and his policies while in power. That'll open your eyes wider than any narcotic will. The confederacy was, for all practical purposes, a police state. Davis trampled in state's rights in ways Lincoln would never dreamed of doing, ignored his constitution at will, and nationalized whole industries while running the economy into the ground through his central planning. Why shouldn't we believe those policies would have continued had the south won their rebellion? In addition to the Yankee horde they would have had that fractious slave population to contend with.

[I Buried My Guns]

Point taken. I have read about some of that, but I tend to romanticize the South. It's a defect in me, I know.

Still, it's Friday, so, you know, puff puff, pass!
