The Lost Cause Loses Again...Last Confederate Statue in Richmond Goes Down....

[CORed]

Christ on a bike - for an American, you sure are lacking in knowledge of your own cultural heritage! Either that or you know exactly who he was and are just being a prat!

Hell, even here in New Zealand, we learned about General George Thomas... "The Rock of Chickamuga" in American History class. He was the southern General and native of Virginia who chose to fight in the Union Army, and who was widely considered to be a traitor by his fellow Virginians. What a bold slap in the face it would be to have HIS statue and the corner of West Laburnum and Hermitage!

I'm American, and I don't recall ever hearing of him before. Which may mean that New Zealand schools do a better job of teaching American history than American schools do.

Well, given all the stories of people being anally probed during the course of an alien abduction, maybe the aliens are butt freaks.

Or they weren't until they met humans, and picked up the habit. "You want us to do what, now? What for? What do you mean, 'for science'?"

Perhaps the answer to the Fermi Paradox is that aliens find us creepy.
