-Caveat Lector- Hi I just mailed this out on my list, and after looking at this, seems appropriate to be on this list as well. "Carlene M. Wojahn" wrote: This is from the "Outrage" list... WE HAVE A DREAM! We have a dream. Someday, in this great land of ours, people, including even lawyers and political activists, will come to believe character really does matter. We have a dream. We will no longer deify people who plagiarize their doctoral theses. If a man takes the title of Reverend, we'll expect him to honor at least a few of the Ten Commandments. If a married man competes with Hugh Hefner for sexual conquests, we won't feel compelled to listen to his moral wisdom. We have a dream. Someday, black churches in America will not be manipulated as institutional power bases by ambitious black men. We're starting to worry that the good reverends are using the Borgia Popes as their role models. We dream that the day will come when lawyers and politicians stop cynically using race as leverage to increase their wealth and power. We have a dream. Someday, quiet people leading lives of unheralded virtue and real productivity will be honored. Someday all people, black and white, will realize the real heroes aren't the ones giving speeches filled with bombastic rhetoric. Real heroes are quietly doing real work: building houses, writing software code, nursing the elderly, parenting the young -- the whole cornucopia of human endeavor that actually results in better lives for real people. We have a dream. Someday holidays will really matter, instead of serving as crass, meaningless tools of political correctness. People will actually give thanks on Thanksgiving. Christians will actually celebrate the birth of Christ on Christmas. New Year's Day will mean something other than recovering from a hangover and watching football on the tube. We have a dream. Someday Americans will realize there's something perverse about the idea of devoting an equal amount of time, and supposedly reverence, to: - a single civil rights leader - all of America's presidents including founding fathers like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson - and the thousands of men and women who have died defending the United States in wartime. Yet we have one day for Presidents Day, one day for Memorial Day, and one day to celebrate the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. We have a dream. Although we're as sentimental as the next fool, we hope that someday we'll all realize early death does not qualify one for sainthood. Whether it be John F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Princess Diana, or Martin Luther King, dying young may be the road to legend, but hardly a guarantee that the life was worth remembering, much less celebrating. Our final dream is that the day will come in America when one can criticize black cultural icons without being labeled a racist. We call this the impossible dream. --- We first published this essay last year to mark the celebration of Martin Luther King Day.

I mean right after reading a great post of yours, which I enjoyed immensely...you lower yourself to this.IMHO If you think that it is proper to use the Lord's name in vain with a curse whilst making my opinion again you are sadly mistaken. That was an example...and I forgot to blank out another letter,,,and besides that I did not type it all out nor did I use a capital G which would denote our God. And as for your syntax advice, . . . . Many times my remarks have been followed by MHO, which stands for my humble opinion. NOT LATELY Hawk is a classic hypocrite. There is much written proof that Hawk is a hypocrite and truly don't feel that he has anything in mind but disruption of this list. But ya have to understand, we been disrupted by eruditer hypocrites than hawk. Why are you defending HawK's hypocrisy with your innanities about name-calling and such? I am not defending Hawk if you would notice...I should you how to use correct syntax if you so wanted to continue doing this..this way no one gets into any legal trouble. We have gotten off on a tangent here...with this name calling and would like to see your intelligent comments, which I so enjoy, with this topic and get back discussing facts. Oh and thanks for calling me stupid. Do you have documentation? I was giving examples...in all of my post I was calling anyone anything. Like I said after posting an example "After reading this thought I would let you know that, that was only an example..Iamnot calling Hawk. this name.Kris," AND VICE A VERSA. However now that I think of it..even though I did not call you stupid ...I said "it seems that you are acting quite stupid, to be doing this to your list. I knowyou payfor it, but you have to set standards..well you have but your not following them." A list owner usually set the tone of the list, at least in my observations. Like I said before, I do enjoy reading some of your other posts, but for some reason you don't seem to use this logic when addressing Hawk. I don't know why. Carlene it seems that you are acting quite stupid, to be doing this to your list. I know you pay for it, but you have to set standards..well you have but your not following them." Anyhow you catch the drift you got to use a word like seems, appears, looks like, or I think can help you call names in a more efficient manner... OkI will help Hawk out here..with his response to ignorant..when he uses the word stupid. He should be saying something like this..it seems...I think..in my opinion you are stupid because you are calling me names and not proving a G##-Dam% thing.

Biblical documentation (courtesy NIV) at Matt 6 (esp 6:5) {long, I won't reproduce -- especially because of the written word} Don't see any connection to slavery. John 8:31ff: "To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." They answered him, "We are Abraham's descendants and have never been slaves on anyone. How can you say we shall be set free?" Apparently these fellows had never been slaves, and said so.. They also apparently "missed the point," that Jesus wasn't talking about literal/physical slavery.. which you also seem to have missed. Acts 7:6ff: "G*d spoke to him {Abraham} in this way: 'Your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years. But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves,' G*d said, 'and afterward they will come out of that country and worship me in this place.' Then he gave Abraham the convenant of circumcision. And Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him eight days after his birth. Later Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs." I stumbled onto the above after looking through my Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible. There's not a bunch on "slave" or "slavery" but more on "bondage" which translates back to "slavery" in the NIV. The Matthew part was what I originally intended to offer but the rest just came along. But, the passage you quoted said nothing about it being "evil" or "wrong" for the Hebrews to be held in bondage. It merely said that they WOULD be, and that Egypt WOULD be punished, which it was... But the punishment was not because the Hebrews were slaves there, rather because Pharoah did not release them when God told him to... It was his (1) unreasonable harshness to the Hebrew slaves, and (2) his refusal to let them go when directed -- Read it in context and this becomes clear. There was a time (read the part about Joseph) when God BLESSED Egypt because of Pharaoh's relationship (master over slave) with Joseph. I really lean more toward Celtic Buddhism so these forays into Xtian theological texts is rather illuminating. That's good... Since some of these folks are offended by biblical texts, I would be very glad to discuss the above passages, or any others, with you... Could be my "take" on them is 100% wrong... but maybe I am not wrong at all. You be the judge, after having an opportunity to study the passages using proper hermaneutical procedures. In looking through your concordance, don't look for "slave" but rather "servant" which IS a slave unless it says "hired" servant. Hawk - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.

Re: [CTRL] Stampeding Bison
-Caveat Lector- For readings on Blacks that owned slaves see these resources. We have a book by Gary Mills, who a professor at Univ. of Alabama, "The Forgotten People," which is about Creoles of Color in Louisiana who owned slaves. It sells for $14.95, postpaid. "Black Slave owners" about Free Black Slave Masters in South Carolina, 1790-1860. It sells for $19.95, postpaid. So check out those books, those are approximate costs for the books. Another one to check out is Virginia's Attitude Toward Slavery and Secession by Beverly B. Munford, 1915. Noby the way you said the blacks could go northI did some checking because I knew better. I have written a book about this area and blacks were not allowed in many villages/cities around here. Also I checked around with a reenacting friend of mine from Ohio This is the e-mail sent and the reply received. " Now I need to find laws that prevented the blacks from going north...some states would not allow them in...please help me with this. Carlene The most blatant was Illinois'. In 1861 they passed a law making it illegal for a black person to be in the state. In 1862 they made it a part of their state constitution. Massachusetts: No law against slavery was ever passed by her legislature, and in that sense, the right to hold slaves may be said to have existed, until it was extinguished by adoption of the "constitutional amendment" in 1866. In 1840 (U.S. census) there were 40 slaves in Pennsylvania. New Jersey had 236 slaves for life in the 1850 census. In March 1788, Massachusetts passed a law ordering every black, mulatto, or Indian who came into the state and remained two months to be publickly whipped, and this punishmentwas to be repeated "if he or she shall not depart "toties quoties." This law remained in force until 1834. (Moore, History of Slavery in Mass., p. 229) There was also discussion on the KKK, well it is alive and well up north here. Keep your eye on Wisconsin on Martin Luther King's DayI think we are in for trouble. An article appeared in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel today. "The KKK will call of its Saturday rally at the state capitol if Gov Thompson admits he was wrong to originally deny the group a permit for the demonstration a leader said Monday. But a spokesman for the governor said Thompson wouldn't go along with that request. Wanting to prevent the vilence that could occur between the Klan and the counter demonstators Mike McQueeney, the Grand Dragon for Wisconsin, called on Thompson to publicly recognize the group has free speech and assembly rights too. If the governor does, he said the group would cancel its rally. Otherwise it will go forward as scheduled. "If one person gets hurt on the Capitol steps--I don't care if it's a negro, a jew, or a homosexual or a neo-Nazi--it will be on Tommy Thompson hands" McQueenely said Monday from his home in Mercer, Wis. "We'll cancel the rally it he admits by noon Wed. that he was wrong, Otherwise we will be sure to be there on Saturday. Madison is not ready for the Klan, and we don't want anyone in the state of Wis. to get hurt. We're not into violence, we're nonviolent. I can see something like this is going to lead to a confrontation and someone has to put a stop to it. I can stop it." A federal judge last week overturned the states decision to deny the group a permit for the event. U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb ruled Thompson could not deny the Klan's right to assemble and speck just because previous rallies held elsewhere became violent. The state had argued in court that the Klan used earlier rallies in Janesville and Beloit to incite violence. In December of 1997 rally in Beloit, nine people were arrested for fighting and 400 anti-Klan protestors showed up to challenge 18 Klan members. The Klan has schedule the rally for two days before Martin lutherKing Day to protest the holiday that honors him. State officials initially denied there quest because of safety concerns. After Crabbs ruling Thompson said he would not appeal the decision and would instruct Capitol police to make security preparations for the rally. Nearly 500 law enforcement officers will be available for the rally which could draw 100 Klan members and 2000 counter demonstartors..and it goes on a bit more...but you get the jist. BTW the first KKK was disbanded, and the first one served a purpose, a purpose which is less in severity than it is today...but the Klan is in other states...northern ones...and many northern states forbade the blacks to settle in their state Carlene DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] Slave Documentation
-Caveat Lector- The slave narratives are not about feelings. They are matter of fact in tone and the descriptions of conditions are well buttressed by related events. It is all but mind numbingly horrific to realize how these folks lived. It's true that they were in their teens but in those conditions, work began in earnest at age 7 or 8. My grandpa died when my dad was 5...he started selling papers then..there were thirteen in the house...children and they all contrubuted...a brother of mine started at 9and guess what they weren't slaves nor were they black. The slaves were adults in their teen years. Actually, even when i lived through the adolescent years during the 1940s, You were expected to be a fully functioning and responsible adult by age 18 during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s.

Re: [CTRL] [[CTRL] Vive La France!]
-Caveat Lector- lol Carlene, I appreciate your interest in my take on the French "culture". I must confess, I have no hard evidence to support the statement that the buttocks of the average Frenchman are indeed physically capable of playing any bellows-driven instrument. Okay...when you find some documentation on this let me know. However, I can attest that wherever you walk on the cruddy streets of Paris, you CONSTANTLY hear that goddamn accordion music playing. Wait a second why is it god@@@ accordian music up here in Wisconsin we have that for our polkas, is that godd@@ as well ? Now you will have to substantiate what is and what isn't god@@@ and please include the criteria of what makes something god@@@ or notOkay ? Regarding the chef's hat theorem... If you take your average chef's hat, and then wereto compress it maniacally down on your head,===: THE BERET! Now that you mention it...it could be a beret...okay will let that one pass, we have to be careful with this documentation here. Lastly, the phrase "mime sucks ass" is not merely an observation or a statement of vitriol. It is a bona fide fact. Let us examine the harsh truths of mime, and together we will learn why it does indeed suck ass. 1) Mimes wear tight pants, horizontal striped shirts, and suspenders. - Conclusion: If an art form requires you to dress like a jerk, it sucks ass. 2) Mimes paint their faces stark white with that stupid teardrop on their cheek. - Conclusion: Face painting sucks ass. Mime employs face painting. Therefore, mime sucks ass. 3) Mimes do stupid and annoying hand and body motions and try to pass it off as art. - Now, if they really wereclimbing a mountain in a windstorm, that would be entertaining. There isalso the chance that they would be blown off the mountain. One less mime. Conclusion - Waving your hands around like a fan dancer with the DTs and calling it art sucks ass. 4) Mime bother people on the street and occasionally employ annoying props (whistles, balloons, etc.). - Conclusion: Annoying innocent bystanders with loud sounds and second-rate entertainment sucks ass. There you have it, my friend. In a nutshell, the reasons why mime sucks ass. Loved it !!! ROFLAO Okay, pretty good documentation but is it a documentation of opinion or fact.

Re: [CTRL] Stampeding Bison
-Caveat Lector- For Carlene Up till now you have contributed nothing to this list besides "Personal Opinion". Excuse me !!! Personal opinion...is it personal opinion that there have been KKK activities up north Okayhere is some documentation Chicago Historical Information 1919: Race Riots On the afternoon of July 27, 1919, Eugene Williams, a black youth, drowned of exhaustion off the 29th Street beach. A stone throwing melee between blacks and whites on the beach prevented the boy from coming ashore safely. After clinging to a railroad tie for a lengthy period, he drowned when he no longer had the strength to hold on. This was the finding of the Cook County Coroner's Office after an inquest was held into the cause of death. But false reports that he had been stoned to death led to five days of rioting in Chicago that claimed the lives of a total of 23 blacks and 15 whites, with 291 wounded and maimed. The Coroner's Office spent 70 day sessions and 20 night sessions on inquest work and in examining 450 witnesses. Those findings, reported in the Coroner's Report of 1919 are followed by his recommendations to deal with the festering social and economic conditions that were the precipitating factors leading to the riots. Sources: Hoffman, Peter M. The Race Riots. Published as the: Cook County (Ill.). Coroner's Office.

Deaths, Disturbances, Disasters and Disorders in Chicago Compiled by Reference Librarians Ellen O'Brien and Lyle Benedict Municipal Reference Collection, Chicago Public Library Last Updated: 3/97 Now what other opinions did I give out...let me look. Constitutionally, they should of been allowed to secede, That is a fact...it was constitutionally correct that they had the right to secede,,,look at the documents issued during the Buchanann administration...do you want urls...I will get them for you. but I think what might have happened here, is Lincoln may have thought it was a minor rebellion led by a few. Not until he got forces out, did he realize how dedicated each southron was and is dedicated to the cause. This is opinion.. The North and the South had and still has a different culture, economic structure, and I believe due to these reasons ...misunderstanding occurred. Fact...there cultures, economic structures were and are different...the movement of the northerners down there may be changing their culture. It is interesting to note, the people selling the slaves were black men themselves, Fact and the one slave owner who had the most slaves was a Haitian that lived in Louisiana. Fact One must also remember there were white slaves. Fact well slaves were expensiveand expensive to maintain(slavery would have faded out on its own) Fact It was the over-seers that were the culprits, people who learned how to abuse their power. But if the were caught...many times it was there behind. Fact Slavery as we see it, in the situation that we are in is evil, we were raised that way, but let me throw out this one question on this, how can we today dare judge a society of yesterday...without understanding the culture, and the mores of that society. Opinion Many black folk were like family and treated as of such. Fact.. Only 5% were slave owners, the war was over preservation of cultures on both sides. Fact Economics is what one looks at, it was becoming uneconomical to have slaves, and was going out. Opinion Those that owned the slaves would have made this transition from slavery to freeman a lot more smoother, many slaves were thrown out in the streets, did not have a place to go, the mighty liberals of their day did not have a plan...the owners would have. Opinion You have NO comprehension of what you are talking about when you start prattling about how "corrupted" the south Fact Lee and others freed their slaves? Yes, there were economic reasons to believe slavery would end. But there were other forces that would have ended it as well. Now I did this with one post, could go back and do it with others...I am searching and have been for some time...I have the urls that can back up everything I stated as a fact and will if so requested... Talking about the underlying themes of the Bible is acceptable but quoting a sheep type mentality will make many of us bored "At Great Speed" Did I do this ??? I don't think so.

-Caveat Lector- [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: My understanding of law has lead me to believe that the southern states had the legal right to leave the union and that they did solawfully. As I stated, the Supreme Court of the time was probably in agreement with this position. It was Lincoln and others in the northern states who ignored their oathes to the Constitution. Again these are facts/questions, not opinions. That is my understanding as well, I have been doing a lot of research concerning this and I have some questions Why did states like Maine, New York, even Wisconsin, think they had the right to secede ? Virginia was one state ..yet part of that state broke away and became another, how can this happen if secession is not constitutional ? Why did the Southron states have to reapply for admission into statehood ? When the 14th amendment was being voted on ...how come they found out for a brief period they were non-states and could not vote on it ? Just a few questions What motivated them. They did not perform an act merely because it was legal, i.e. they did not act arbitrarily. --No it wasn't illegal, there was talk about the northern states doing..seceding as well. They joined in the Confederacy because it stood for their way of seeing, their way of living. That way was based upon slavery. The Southern leadership could not stay in the Union without accepting a gradual change over in the dirty little condition that made their way possible. No it was more based on states rights, slavery would of disappeared on its on with the westward movement..so the last sentence above is incorrect. The North was not going to accept additional slave states and the opposition to slavery was growing. -But who had sold the slaves to the South ?

Re: [CTRL] Slavery (was: Stampeding Bison)
-Caveat Lector- I have a black friend who grew up down south, having to watch the local KKK'rs walk by her house -- in full regalia -- going to and from their meetings...and being made to smile and wave to them...I can tell you, KKK is alive and well in the north, couple years ago there was a demonstration, in Racine..heck that was broadcasted nationally don't you remember ? I have newspaper accounts telling about their meetings and such in Wisconsin, and Illinois. You want me to get them out ? SHE and her family were NOT content, but knew what they had to do to keep from being lynched and their house burned down... Again, blacks were and are discriminated up north, we can not discount that as being national...you got to remember when the slaves were freed there were no allowances made for them. The north was becoming industralized, there were no unions and the black labor force, this new labor force was a threat to those up here. Besides that many of our soldiers had died, for the preservation of the Union, and the freeing of the slaves...there was bitterness that their loved ones were gone, that communities disappeared due to this war. There's a reason they moved up North...because the South didn't provide them the opportunities in employment the North did, because of their race... There were many laws enacted prohibiting them to move into certain stateslook at the demographics how many blacks live in the south compared to the north. Everyone of them supposedly had the opportunity to move up north, by what you said, percentage wise how many did ? We worked together Black and White to plant and clear the crops since most of the able bodied men were still at war. -You still see this black and whites working together peacefully, respectfully...in the south. There is a percentage that is always more noticeable and vocal than the majority, and that is what one has to go by. I'm sure blacks were given equal opportunity to plant clear fields -- for someone else. How many blacks OWNED this property they worked on...? The major slave holder in the South was a freed black man from La, do you want name and details...can get them. How many blacks were allowed to take over important office and factory jobs, supervisory and managerial positions, when the 'able bodiedmen' (black men WEREN'T 'able bodied'?) were away at war? Blacks had joined the Confederate Army and fought right along side the rest, they got paid the same...up north the white soldier got $13 a month, and the black got $10 a month It is not regional Well he must have been a pistol, because isn't he the guy who was making love to a lady in one of the White House cloakrooms while his guards held off his wife who was trying to get in to attack them?

Constitutionally, they should of been allowed to secede, but I think what might have happened here, is Lincoln may have thought it was a minor rebellion led by a few. Not until he got forces out, did he realize how dedicated each southron was and is dedicated to the cause. The North and the South had and still has a different culture, economic structure, and I believe due to these reasons ...misunderstanding occurred. It is interesting to note, the people selling the slaves were black men themselves, and the one slave owner who had the most slaves was a Haitian that lived in Louisiana. One must also remember there were white slaves. But getting back to slavery issue, and beatings,...when you buy a mercedes...or something expensive like that do you intentionally go out to harm it..crash it, scratch it. Heck, no you paid good money for it, and you will try to do your best so nothing happens to it...well slaves were expensiveand expensive to maintain(slavery would have faded out on its own) It was the over-seers that were the culprits, people who learned how to abuse their power. But if the were caught...many times it was there behind. Slavery as we see it, in the situation that we are in is evil, we were raised that way, but let me throw out this one question on this, how can we today dare judge a society of yesterday...without understanding the culture, and the mores of that society. You don't seem to understand much about human nature. Slavery was not just an economic issue. It was a way of life and cheap self esteem. Many black folk were like family and treated as of such. It was the dark pleasure of having absolute power over others. Slavery had deeply corrupted the South. Only 5% were slave owners, the war was over preservation of cultures on both sides. To think that the results of slavery were typically benign or even neutral is fantasy. Huh ? It is also naive to think that the slave masters would ever have voluntarily given up their corrupt power. Economics is what one looks at, it was becoming uneconomical to have slaves, and was going out. Those that owned the slaves would have made this transition from slavery to freeman a lot more smoother, many slaves were thrown out in the streets, did not have a place to go, the mighty liberals of their day did not have a plan...the owners would have. Don't just focus on the shallow economics oriented histories, consider and read about the social/psychological realities. Bunk Jerry You have NO comprehension of what you are talking about when you start prattling about how "corrupted" the south so, why had Lee and others freed freed their slaves? Yes, there were economic reasons to believe slavery would end. But there were other forces that would have ended it as well. Carlene M.

Mr. Davis, what appears to be "logical" or "illogical" depends upon your point of view, the criteria one uses to frame a particular discussion. For example, if you were a white male southerner at the time who owned slaves, you would be interested in protecting your "property," and you would not be too enthusiastic about the Federal government's plan to free your slaves. However, for the sake of argument, I was the slave owner ...and you were MY slave. You might have a completely different perspective on the issue of what exactly IS property and what ISN'T. If I decided to take your children from you and sell them to my neighbor, you wouldn't be able to complain, because the law had defined you to be chattel. Or, perhaps,if I decided to enjoy the sexual favors of your wife. Again, you would have nothing to say in the matter because I would be the absolute lord and master over the Davis family. Your wife, your children, your lives would be held in my tender hands. Now, being a thinking and reasonable person, I just might make a reasonable assumption that YOU would object to this state of affairs. In fact, it might not be a legal or logical issue to you...it might be an emotional and intensely personal issue to you, would you agree? Of course, I could trot out my Holy Book and explain to your sorry ass that you are chattel...and I could explain the Constitution to your untutored ears.and explain the finer points of the noble English Common

That is my understanding as well, I have been doing a lot of research concerning this and I have some questions Why did states like Maine, New York, even Wisconsin, think they had the right to secede ? Virginia was one state ..yet part of that state broke away and became another, how can this happen if secession is not constitutional ? Why did the Southron states have to reapply for admission into statehood ? When the 14th amendment was being voted on ...how come they found out for a brief period they were non-states and could not vote on it ? Just a few questions What motivated them. They did not perform an act merely because it was legal, i.e. they did not act arbitrarily. --No it wasn't illegal, there was talk about the northern states doing..seceding as well. They joined in the Confederacy because it stood for their way of seeing, their way of living. That way was based upon slavery. The Southern leadership could not stay in the Union without accepting a gradual change over in the dirty little condition that made their way possible. No it was more based on states rights, slavery would of disappeared on its on with the westward movement..so the last sentence above is incorrect.
