On MSN news they had several quotes from Robert E. Lee expressing that the country would heal faster if there were NOT statues of himself and others erected. When I think of REL I am reminded of Picketts charge of a half mile of open ground, uphill into Union cannon. Afterwards he ordered Pickett to form up his army and make a maneuver, Pickett's reply was something like " I have no more Army, you have killed them Sir".
I have never understood why Jews have been the object of such persecution, if history repeats does that mean our 1% will be attacked and brought low, there is a verse in the Bible that predicts the reversal of fortunes for rich and poor.
