was anybody ever offended by the names of those buildings before this week? I'd love to hear from someone that was, because your perspective would be good to learn...but it seems that people have been told they should be upset, so here comes the emotional politics

our history is checkered, but attacking symbols and words...will get temporary emotional relief - and then what? nothingness...it's not real change...this energy could go to productive change...

The madness at UVA - covering statues and demanding that TJ come down...really hope this doesn't infect JMU

James Madison had slaves ...
Woodrow Wilson supported KKK...
Confederate generals were honored (it was more about state rights than just slavery, but that's lost on everyone...)

Stupid, terrible things have been done and said, but still great men and part of our history - the legacy of Jimmy on this country is unbelievable...expunging that history may set us up to repeat it, eh?
