DTS, honestly to be taken seriously you have to avoid the likes of Byrd...I went to school in WVa and my first wife was from there...I know too much about the guy, the comparisons of him and Duke are certainly valid...forgive? Sure! Forget? No, I'm afraid that's something those of us who marched in the 60's will never do! You simply can't reach the moral high ground wearing a white sheet...it may not cover his body anymore but the karma remains.

Somerfrost,
I'll give you that. I also marched, not in the 60's but the 70's.
Read his words.
