I spent most of my years in Richmond Virginia. Richmond is a GRAND LOVER of confederate icons. We have statues of Robert E. Lee that is displayed promantely on the Blvd. (I won't even get into all of that)

HERE IS MY QUESTION: Why do SO MANY AMERICANS idolize the confederacy? I know that many peoples forefathers fought in that war, but mine did as well and I do not idolize them. One very important reason is b/c 75% of my family tree were the African slaves who were crippled & made to live lower than dogs under the cruel system of slavery. (The culture of slavery was the worst form of terrorism that exists)

FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS
1. Why wasn't Jeff Davis and the confed. soldiers tried for treason and put to death at the end of the war?\
2. Why wasn't the reconstruction plan followed thru? The Confed. states were restored to their with loyal gov. but the south found a new way slave Africans thru Jim Crow Laws.
3. What is it about the Confederacy that causes so much idolization?

My son Andre sleeps through the night. Our problem is that he first has to fall asleep in our arms and then put him in his crib. I would like to let him cry it out but am not really sure of how the method works. The last two nights I put him in his crib sleepy and then the crying starts we let him cry for 10 minutes and then my husband has gone ina taken him out and he falls asleeop instantly. How long do you let them cry and when is it time to pick them out. He gets so upset and starts to gag and breathe as though choking. Doesn't this crying make it harder for him to fall asleep? His daytime naps are easier. I put him dowm today sleepy and just rubbed his bottom and he did fall asleep. The thing is that even in our arms he throws a hissy and it takes him a bit to calm down

I am 18 weeks pregnant with #3, but it has been 3 years since my last so I don't remember any of this. Anyway I have been feeling cramps every so often and sometimes I get like a pulling feeling in my belly. Is that what this is or is it something else?

Francis (currently a free agent) is due to sign with the Rockets. He's had better offers with more years and money on them, but he turned 'em down to reunite with former teammate Yao Ming and others. I think it's a good career move for the "Franchise." Now maybe 10 year veteran Tracy McGrady can actually make it past the 1st round. I'm not trying to disrespect him or anything, it's just sad that a player of his caliber and talent can't do it. The Rockets may now restore the powerhouse team they we're back when the had Francis and return to the top ranks in the West. Too bad New Jersey is gonna win the championship next season!

Most of questions get a canned answer and yes they are mainly from fellow believers. It really leads me to believe that you don't read the question and extra details.

You just type Jesus is Lord or something like that and that's it.

Why do you do that? If you actually took time to read the question and gave an objective answer you might not get picked on so much.

Comments?

1) The excursion boat on a river takes two and a half hours to make the trip to a point 12 miles upstream and to return. If the rate at which the boat travels in still water is 5 times the rate of the river current, what is the rate of the current?

2) The capacities of two trucks are 3 tons and 4 tons. If the larger truck makes 3 more trips than the smaller, its total haul is 20 more tons than the smaller one. How many trips does each truck make?

3) Rick can run the 440-yard dash in 55 seconds, and Jack can run it in 88 seconds. How great of a handicap must Rick give Jack for the boys to finish the race at the same time?

I'm just not sure how to set up the equations for each question. Any help is greatly appreciated.

A lot of internal segregation has been occuring during the past decades: religious segregation, race segregation, chauvinist segregation, political segretation. And now -according to press note just released by Reuters- according to a study by the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore released in the Epidemiologic Reviews Magazine, by 2015 officially the USA will be a country of fat people, with 75% of the adults in above their required weight and 41% being diagnosed as obesed. So I was thinking to change its name from United States of America to Fat States of America. :D
