My point was and is, why bring it up? That sorry episode has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion. Why not bring up the murder of Caesar? Motley is using a killing (justified or not, we don't know)to bring up a sad episode in ancient US history involving two people who are long dead. Nothing I said about it is incorrect. It wasn't a "rationalization" since my statement of plain facts had no intent to rationalize. Nor did I defend it. The truth, sir, is not a "rationalization".

But thanks for your useless addition to Motley's irrelevant and mean-spirited provocation. Also, congratulations on yet another deflection from the topic at hand.
