  1. @ SCVic  :D  prathapml has no idea who good ole Strom is or was.  prathapml thought you were yanking your own chain.

    I don't know if I would be to negative about Thurmond yet.  I don't think history has finished writing itself on him.  If you can believe it, I had the fortune (good or bad) to meet him once.  I was hitch-hiking and Thurmond and another older gentleman from Greenwood picked me up.  Only got to talk to them for a couple of minutes and Thurmond's mind was clear as a bell and I don't think he ever forgot anything.  I had lived in Greenwood at one time and Thurmond new some people I had known and what they had been up to.  Including things that I had forgotten about.  You referred to him as a hypocrite, justifyable.  How many years did he spend in politics?  Yes, he fathered a mixed race child, but he took care of her and her mother and he did this in the 1930s when all he had to do was ignore them and that would have been completely acceptable at that time.  For some reason, she seems to hold no animosity.  I don't know all of his doings but I think you can call him a hypocrite because he played both sides and did it successfully for a long, long time.  I'm  just saying to give time to somewhat current events and see what history has to say.

    So, you're a flatlander SCVic.  I live up the hill from you in Hendersonville, NC.  Welcome to MSFN.
