I have a good friend who is a fellow blues traveler - he was able to drive across Parchman Farm (he actually came to a fork in the dirt road that the guards had not told him about - I asked if he spun a whiskey bottle around to determine which way to go). I know most all the juke joints are gone now, replaced by casinos, and the Crossroads is marked by a sign on an interstate exchange, etc. Anyway, I have a growing collection of spots to visit on a road trip. Maybe this May.

There are plenty of us who don't fly Confederate flags, support Obama, vote Democratic, and don't stereotype others.

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.
