The idea of Restoration is to restore the INTENT of the founders. Not return to the days of the founding. The slavery issue was a compromise with the back-knowledge of slavery ending over a period of time. The same went for universal sufferage, the founders new it would be corrected over time<br /><a href="http://www.bulletholestickers.net" rel="nofollow"> bullet hole stickers</a>patradresses.orghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667618979532747089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757899338145916992.post-84653080289862445982012-05-28T09:33:13.466-04:002012-05-28T09:33:13.466-04:00Hello Walter Brasch,

I found it, and wanted to share it with you. It includes a link to an important article that compliments your thoughts here.<br /><br />Dear Rachel,<br />Heroism comes in many forms. You are one such hero - for too many reasons to state here!<br />Amid all the recognition for the war-heroes, this article from TomDispatch brings to light a forgotten group of heroes. <br />"...the hawks remain eternally wrong and triumphant when it comes to war, and the doves remarkably right and yet eternally erased from the scene."<br /> <br />Anti-war Critics Forgotten<br /> <br />http://www.tomdispatch.com/post/175508/tomgram%3A_adam_hochschild%2C_antiwar_critics_forgotten_on_oscar_night/<br /> <br />"The bravery of such men and women in speaking their minds on one of the great questions of the age cost them dearly: in public scorn, prison terms, divided families, lost friends and jobs. And yet they are largely forgotten today at a moment when resistance to pointless wars should be celebrated. Instead we almost always tend to celebrate those who fight wars -- win or lose -- rather than those who oppose them."<br /> <br />"...as General Omar Bradley once said, that we “know more about war than we know about peace.” We tend to think of wars as occasions for heroism, and in a narrow, simple sense they can be. But a larger heroism,..., lies in daring to think through whether a war is worth fighting at all."<br /><br />Joanne ThomasJoanne L. Thomasnoreply@blogger.com
