These can be, but not always are the same people that have large Confederate flag decals on their pickup trucks. It is an inaccurate description. President Lincoln was brilliant and far seeing, and realized that if this succession was to become fact, there would be no end, and what is the USA would become a hodgepodge of tiny nations led by who knows what. There are many of us, however, who wouldn't miss the south a bit. -----Original Message----- From: philippe.amard Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2012 5:10 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Desensitization could it be Vietnam? ph Le 9 d?c. 12 ? 23:39, Douglas Barry a ?crit : > > "Don Dory" <don.dory at gmail.com> wrote >> nasty deaths from smallpox and ebola.
