    I caught that bus when I was 10, 11 and 12. Took it from Oswego to Gresham to pick strawberries. Spent every penny on junk food that I would eat on the way home from hours of swimming in the lake. I'd get home from picking strawberries, immediately hop on my bike and head for the lake.

    I would modify that to getting rid of all the men and ugly women. I would also get rid of all the children which can be a nuisance when engaging in verbal and physical intercourse with one or MORE of those beautiful women. Yahoo, more.

    Nah, you'd want a complete dictatorship. I mean, just look at your moniker.

    Course the population then was closer to 70m in the us back then instead of approaching 350m. Their was also only like 35 states at the end of the civil war. My point is things change. What worked or didnt work in the 1860’s might not be working today. Interesting you bring up the civil war though, since apparently they felt they had enough differences to kill each other over back then.
