Evidently you consider these people deities, and completely forget they were mortal men. They were great men, but largely, they had the same faults as the rest of us; the same passions and the same weaknesses. Altruism is a crock of sh*t; sorry.

Responding to the above, were you not the author of that little gem?

This may come as a shock to you, my southern friend, but the discipline of history extends beyond the mere study of quaint viral emails that have been making their way around the web since Netscape 2.0. It's a nice email nonetheless.

But you might want to open a book or two and learn even more.
