And yet again, methinks you protest too much.....

Destry-Misquotes of Christ's Sermon on the Mount, Thomas Jefferson (a "Frog statesman") and (my personal favorite) bestowing a peerage on disgraced Irish nationalist Charles Parnell. It goes on and on. Some people use the Internet in a rather pathetic attempt to gain a strange kind of attention that they apparently desire but can not get in real life...People actually do fail open book tests..."F"

Believe it was Robespierre, not Tommy J. Sir!!

I am sure it was Robespierre who said "I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to freely say it!" and for that famous utterance he died on the French guillotine aprox. 1794. He was the Frog stateman to whom I made reference on another website/forum other than here. Were I to have referred to Thomas Jefferson, I believe it would have been more accurate to refer to him as the WASP statesman, as were almost all of our great Founding fathers.

I won't discuss my reverence for Lord Parnell, that his how we view him, if you chose to view him otherwise and "de-peerage" him, that is your free choice, and there is no sense debating that.

I hope you and your friend Destry have good weather and a fine pigeon shoot this coming week-end. The late Nash Buckingham once shot at your club with the late Eltinge Warner I believe. I would have loved to have been there and see those "sky carp" being blown to feathery bits floating down the river with the solid hits from his famous "Bo-Whoop" Fox double. Stay well!!

And another of our generation joins the expanding group of influential citizens who chooses to use the acronym WASP in a derogatory manner. For the umteenth time, I apologize for my obvious WASPness.
