    Looking at the top teeth he must have been eating a lot of hay.

    I'm sure there were a lot of disgusting conditions that men and women had to endure weather fixable or not.
    Maybe someone can write a book on how people lived in the past but it shouldn't degrade the greatness of some men.
    A wrinkle coat will not change the greatness of men like Abraham Lincoln.
    Pottie habits or cleanliness may have been the condition of the times, I see it as a burden on historic figures and some still achieve greatness.
    I have a cousin (he's past now) that was a professional boxer, he was older than me, With all his muscles and toughness, was kind and gentle, if you've treated him fairly you had a friend for life just don't Cross him. Like most boxes he had this disgusting habit blowing his nose or clearing his head by holding one nostril and blowing it out on the ground. This is a necessary method of keeping your your breathing passages open when boxing, obviously in the ring you can't use a hanky with gloves on. While I consider this a disgusting habit it didn't change my opinion of the man I looked up to.

    Myth: Thomas Jefferson Signed the Constitution

    "It seems incomprehensible that a big-name founding father like Thomas Jefferson missed out on signing the U.S. Constitution, but he never inked the deal. He was actually absent during the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention in 1787, as he was across the Atlantic Ocean in Paris, France, as the U.S.’s envoy."

    Who would go to all that trouble when it is easier to just accept half lies and stay ignorant? Not only is western history artifacts being destroyed but it's being eliminated for those who profit from it. It will not benefit anyone in the long run.

    Well they were just lazy because there were always outhouses. They could be cold in the winter but people in rural areas didn't have inside plumbing for waste. I used many outhouses as a child when we were in the country.

    No not at all, I'm glad you ask though it made me go back and read my replys. I meant that most are ignorant in general not anyone here ,present company excluded. Sometimes I'm really bad with context.:eek::oops:

    I didn't think you meant anybody here.
    It just seemed like a generally frustrated [out of context] reply.

    Yes that too, my grammar isn't that good either, As I'm sure you knew that.
    I will get upset with politics and post about subject, but it is not meant to be personal.
    You gotta also figure I'm like trapped here and I don't like that so maybe there is a little pee in my cereal.:D I need to get out of here, another song, "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place".:D
