I had to comment on this post because I agree with you 100% on those like BF. They were the example of what a real American was. Now I'm not talkin about Native American, thats a different story. But fact remains that this country was and invention and experiment of what can happen when people from all over the world recreate themselves. Too bad we had to kill off the majority of the indiginous peoples,and bring in slaves to do this. But every country has its nasty little episodes in its growing up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-29428595625140940302010-01-15T11:03:37.587-06:002010-01-15T11:03:37.587-06:00Thank you for the quotes today. :)
