Does it make sense to hold historical figures to atandards which have developed over time (becoming standards only recently)? This is a particularly important question when such historical figures may have been paragons of virtue by the standards of their day and may have even made significant contributions to improvements to cultures from which theirs were developed (i.e., cultures which were historical in their day).

Buttboy is a child who lives only in his own day. He is a pawn of the socialists/communists who desire to rewrite history because history has not been and will not be kind to socialism/communism.

I believe you are correct in saying that the standards of yesterday should be held to yesterdays standards. I have been saying that for many years but was not able to put it as well as you have.
