21. Succinct. Good thinking on several levels.

It was a miscalculation when a guy who's childhood glimpses of history were tales of heroic men in butternut was allowed to inhabit the white house. I give you Mr. Wilson, of Virginia. His presidency was when the 'south' finally won the war.

I wonder that WWI may have, indeed, ended all wars had the axis powers won. That had never occurred to me until just this AM and all this time I'd seen myself a "long-viewed" progressive. Seen from this perspective, the whole of the remaining 20th century becomes a shameful display of materialism and bad taste. However, the re-write may not have prevented the arrival of some Trump or another.
