How about George Washington?

NO he's out too, slave owner you know. I guess if some are bothered by history they think they can just rewrite it, How about Soupy Sales! I don't know why this scout troop cares, don't they know they are all bigoted homophobes anyway?

GW did free all of his slaves though. That counts for something.

Not only was Washington a slave owner but there are CSA graves at Mt. Vernon and one of his wife's kids married Lee. Also Washington frequently visited the Lee home when Lee was a child. There are also CSA graves at Jefferson's home. So they all are out. If you really want to understand the civil war/war between the states then study the life of RF Lee not the life of Abe, visit his home over looking the capital (Arlington National Cemetery).

I'm in the Chief Seattle Council. Chief Seattle was a member of the Duwamish tribe, which, along with other coastal tribes of the Pacific Northwest, had slaves. In fact, the host of a potlatch (big salmon feast party) used to slaughter his slaves as a proof of his wealth.

For the sake of consistency, we should probably change the name of our Council, too. What about...the Patty Murry Council? The Baghdad Jim McDermott Council? The Governor Grope Lowry Council?
