Greg,

I could only respond to the words I saw printed as I do not know you, or you, me. It is unusual to meet people who agree to disagree and I have not been disrespectful of this nor have I the intent. I DO respond when histories or philosophies are presented falsely. Through personal experience, I urge each to to read Powell's statement, in that time and in that place, simply, for his words, without ascribing ulterior motive. Sometimes a man does nothing but bare his soul.

This had to be answered separately from othe questions. No, I do not wilfully misinterpret to play devil's advocate. Too many play that game as it is.
