⬆ Once again, this is a political forum. All I know is the screenname "TRT." I do not know "you" so how could I hold you in contempt? The question about slavery came up in the context of the Confederate flag and commemorative statues of Robert E. Lee. Basically, WeePeeGee, you lack insight into your own Peacockian ways. I have said many times I respect the sincerity and tenacity with which you hold and argue your beliefs. We disagree. With heat. It's fun to jockey back and forth. Without the disagreement and heat, the forum gets boring. No contempt here, TRT. Just rowdy, spirited back and forth.

Just pointing out the irony, you disagree with heat but you've managed nonetheless to absorb my writing style like a sponge. And you'd sell that all in fun line a lot easier if you would spend more time in reasonable defense of the opinions others have given you, and less in personal insult and name calling. Frankly, you're not very good at it anyway.

Like Occupy Main Street was a sham dressed in the clothes of peaceful protest, this was an excuse for thugs to revel in foment. I don't believe a 100 year old statue of Robert E Lee to be of particular offense to most people. "Slavery as an institution, is a moral and political evil in any country." ---ROBERT E LEE
