Hi Beth,
Sounds as though Governor McDonnell also didn't mention African-Americans (no

The allusion to internet research is doubly funny. About 10 min with
google did reveal the claims about black confederate soldiers, but also
revealed a substantial volume of material critical of this claim. At

This attack on education is only the tip of an iceberg here in Virginia. To see

your school board is pushing for Intelligent Design) feel about situations

Yes, I agree. I'd be surprised if there were NO black soldiers in the
confederate army ... and whether there are 10 or 10,000 doesn't change the
basic facts and interpretation of the war. I find it sad to see these unnamed
soldiers being used as political fodder. Analyze any war and you will

Hi
Only by using the term knowledge in a quirky or loose way would it be

empirical justification (I'm not certain that falsifiability is the only such
criterion one can use). There is a discussion of this at
