Virginia County secretly removes Confederate flag from official seal
The Daily Press, Hampton Roads, VA ^ | March 2, 2006 | Associated Press

Posted on 03/03/2006 11:37:56 AM PST by Rebeleye

The removal of the Confederate flag from Amherst County's official seal has upset Southern heritage groups, who contend residents weren't told of the change. County officials acknowledge the image was quietly removed in August 2004 to avoid an uproar.

stand did not claim Grant ingested BAYER Aspirin.

And yet until the "aspirin" name went into the public domain (as reparations for WW1), only Bayer made "aspirin." And pure, unbuffered salicylic acid just isn't the same thing as aspirin. And again, Watie didn't claim Grant was sipping willow bark tea or eating pure salicylic acid. He said he was taking heroin and aspirin for a toothache. At best you're saying that he speaks imprecisely, despite his German-historical-novel source.

I've simply proven that aspirin, buffered and unbuffered existed prior to that, and before the war.

So what are you asking us to believe, that the knowledge of how to buffer salicylic acid was such common knowledge after 1853 that anonymous American pharmacists were producing it, but that Bayer was able to come in 46 years later and make billions on it because no one had thought to market it?

thank you for posting FACTS.

nonetheless, you are dealing with HATERS, bigots & lunatics, who don't WANT to know the TRUTH, as the truth is NOT on their (pitiful) side.

their "stock in trade" is IGNORANCE of the FACTS, blather,ad. hominum. attacks, evasions,SELF-righteousness, KNOWING lies & arrogance. (those qualities have forever been the mark of a DY!)

i do NOT know that this is FACT, but a longtime "member in good standing" of a local CW Round-table near DC told me Saturday night,that the substance Dr Morton "invented" (now called HEROIN)was FIRST called "MORTONITE".

in the past, his information has been proved to be correct. (i wouldn't know where to even "start looking for" the supposed 1st name of the drug.)

Ah, another impossible-to-verify Watie source. Let's see, a Google search of C.R.A. Wright and heroin shows 752 hits, all saying that Wright invented heroin. S.L.A. Morton and heroin shows zero. "Mortonite" shows only a bunch of people from towns called "Morton"

My God, just how stupid do you take us to be? If good ol' Doctor Morton had in fact "invented" heroin as you say he did - a claim not supported by any reference I'm aware of - then he would not have called it "Mortonite". He would have called it....diacetylmorphine. Or something close to that. The naming conventions for organic chemical compounds had been established by the French in the 1790s and had been accepted world wide. Heroin is called that for the same reason aspirin is called aspirin, because that was the name it was marketed under when Bayer introduced it.

However, you have given me inspiration. I propose that we give all future stand waite discoveries their only scientific label. I suggest we call them 'Moronite'.

Oh, and if you do the search on C.R. Alder Wright and heroin, you get 16,000 hits.

So, that's Wright invents heroin:16,000. Morton invents heroin, zero.

>>>Naw, time for the rest of Virginia to rejoin the Union and come to grips with the 21st Century.<<<

Why would any good Southerner want to "rejoin the Union", when the so-called "Union" is a socialist welfare state, promoting a perverted agenda that seeks to turn our daughters into sluts and whores? Get a clue...

It's always amusing when people from one part of the country seem to think they have better moral values than those from another.

If we're talking promiscuity, the co-eds of, say, Harvard and Yale, are nuns compared to the southern belles of U of Texas, LSU, Florida State or most other southern schools.

Trust me, I speak from experience.

There is nothing amusing about the corruption of our children's morals by godless marxists.

"Moronite"..

...Is a perfectly suitable term for Capitan U-boat man.

Anyone would require aspirin after reading his perpetual baloney.

Isn't about time for you to drag about the worn out neo-confederate fable concerning the 100,000 to 200,000 slaves willingly defending the Confederate's Cotton Empire?
