I can’t believe you really prefer personal anecdotes to historical facts and records.
Describing my one of my grandmother’s marriage from a 100 years ago, and mentioning my marriage of 40 years ago, leaves out a mass of people in my family who married at more normal ages.
What are you going to do next, run a thread where we can talk about our gay friends and family and co-workers, so that you can decide that being homosexual is the norm?
Ansel, pal of mine, what do you think all these anecdotes are BUT a historical record? You just don’t like this particular reality of history.
BTW, there are a group of eco nuts in Antarctica right now denying that there is ice all around them. The ‘facts’ of our government show that there is none due to global warming. History and observable reality show otherwise.
Notice anything simmilar here?
