been there several times. folks took us up there a few times. been to manassas/bull run (depending on north or south as to what it was called) vicksburg, pea ridge... some revolutionary war sites too including yorktown, camden s.c. also jamestown, williamsburg. i love history--hope to go to shiloh and antietam. around christmastime they put up luminaries at antietam--one for every casualty of the battle. they said when you see the #, it's huge--but to see all those lights stretched out, it puts things into perspective.

....I'm beginning to think Diaper and Dispencer are the same person...Dispencer wears the fake Amish beard.



I hope this does not come as a shock.

I don't know where you are at...but that's probably a bad place to meet.



I think Diaper may be looking for me.

I am vindicated. At a much later date.
I would certainly rank it among the greats...Jack was outstanding and the movie hit some interesting points concerning human behavior and views...the only complaint I have is the depiction of ECT and lobotomies. ECT is a valuable treatment tool in the battle against severe and chronic depression and the application is humane, the patient given muscle relaxers and anesthetic so there are no violent convulsions and/or injury. Lobotomies are banned in the US but when they were used produced a flat affect but didn't reduce patients to zombies...they were often performed outpatient in a doctors office.
