The media makes light of Confederate History Month (April). As a matter of fact, they frequently, downright lie or wallow in their political and academic fatuousness on its history. Nevertheless, it has a grand history, greatly hidden by today’s untutored and ill-read “media.”

Memphis Tennessee’s Orpheum Theatre Group banned Gone with the Wind. No surprise really. Like self-important Pharisees, the “powers-to-be” raise their self-righteousness beyond levels that angels can reach. These crabbing, pitiful, unlabored protestors (or just as unlabored—politicians) must show their care for some group of mankind’s maligned people of some special group of color or trait or position or whatever; though these same Pharisees-claimants insist on the people of the world’s equality.
If all are equal how can there be differences in treatment i.e. how to tell which equal is not equal. But this is the kind of reasoning (or lack of) one is faced within contemporary society e.g. public education. Now, one can see where Orwell came up with his fairy-tale-farm idea. Or, perhaps, Lord of the Flies is a more appropriate tale.
I recently watched from my personal collections of movies Song of the South, the other night for the “several-th” time. (my wife and I used to love to watch it together). Walt Disney may have been from Chicago but he must have been steered early by noble encouragement. The truth is, Uncle Remus was the smartest guy in the story (continued)
