I don’t agree that he would have forcefully ended slavery in the absence of a war because as his letter above makes plain he states his purpose was preservation of the union and not abolition of slavery. Hey, why am I suddenly a "senior contributor", Bick? I'm still a young, virile specimen of manhood. You must be thinking of MDDad 1. If abolishing slavery were a primary concern for Lincoln, he would also have freed the slaves in the north in his Emancipation Proclamation. But he did not. 2. Luca, the reason you know so much about the Civil War is because that's when you were a "young, virile specimen of manhood." |

Scoff if you must, Mr. Brasi, but there are signs I'm about to enter puberty, so I will surpass you soon enough.

At your age it's referred to as the "second childhood." And those aren't wet dreams, my friend, it's urinary incontinence..................................Luca |

I defer to the wisdom you've gained from personal experience.

I must have entered the harsh, colder room by mistake.
If I’ve ever disagreed with either of you, I take it back.

Dave, there's no need for concern. Luca and I have known each other since before World War II, when I was a toddler and he was completing his medical residency at the Tijuana Animal Hospital. And we've been ragging on each other almost that long.

No worries...
I didn’t want to inadvertently witness anything to which I might be called to testify, later.
Don’t make me choose between Mommy and Daddy.
