keep telling yourself this. That way you'll never have to face the fact that conservative voters are the worst, most backward, ignorant element of our society.

It's weird. Saying something doesn't make it true or change history. You're killing your own party...good luck with that.
Originally posted by TheSmutPeddlerDOTcom Come on, how do any of us know what states really had slavery and which didn't. I for one don't believe 80% of what I read in schoolbooks or anywhere else for that matter. How does anyone alive today know what really went on over 100 years ago? They don't. Have you ever played telephone? You go around in a circle of 15 or 20 people and by the time the original message gets back to the first person it has usually changed drastically, and that is only in a few minutes time with a few people. Imagine how much things get skewed over a span of 100 plus years and millions of people.
It's just like saying no two snowflakes are alike, they cannot prove that. They would have to examine every single snowflake that has ever fallen in the history of the world and compare them to all the other snowflakes. Impossible. To me this map holds no merit whatsoever. But I am naive, because I don't believe everything I hear.
you cant compare textbooks to telephone. telephone involves 1 person sending the message to 1 person.. continued many times. there are many many records of what happened 100 years ago, and there are many textbooks or other literature that point out what happened 100 years ago to a huge audience. this is far from telephone. you only believe 20% of what textbooks have to say? you SHOULD be believing 80% of what they say
