Judging History (branch off from election thread)

[Strike For The South]

If you ignore the reality of the man are you not making a judgement yourself Strike?? if it be moral one or not would be beside the point.

And naturally I never said I wish to impose my moral order on anyone instead I merely reject the myth, I dont see that this would prevent would me from understanding history.

In fact part of the problem seems to be that by rejecting the myth people are attacked as imposing a moral order on history.

I know full well the realities of the man, I just don't make a judgement on them (to the best of my ability)

The only man above reproach is Teddy Roosevelt
