The spoon feeding will consist of a little bit of this, a little bit of
that, and a whole bunch of other stuff; A healthy amount of new, seasoned to
taste with memories.

However, as you suggest, Sue.  This will not take place merely over the next
few days, but conservately fertilized (yeah, that's the right term) over the
next three months and ending (with a grand finale) on August 1st, a couple
days before the opening of this year's Trinity Fest featuring the "A" list
of bottom-feeders as its headline speakers.

Stay tuned, Viz.

I listened and reflected on what was said, and as a preamble to my remarks, 
count me as one who thinks any connection between his reality and mine is 
purely coincidental.

"Two different races dwelt together in harmony and true affection."  For 
god's sake that wasn't even happening in the 20s and 30s, (when the 
interviews were said to have been done), then by what stretch of the 
imagination would one infer it happened in the early and middle 1800s.  He 
says those interviews were done in the late 20s and early 30s.  That would 
mean the youngest interviewees had to have been born say 1860 and even they 
would have been 70 by 1930.  And that would be the youngest group who lived 
as slaves.  I doubt very many could have been slaves as adults. They would 
have had to been born in 1840 or so and that would make them 90 at the time 
of the interviews, and he says there were thousands of interviews.   In the 
1930s the average lifespan in the U.S. was about 55.  This stuff doesn't 
even fit into a legitimate timeline.

We have 3 choices,  I think:   We can believe those interviews represent the

truth, we can believe the former slaves didn't remember their early lives, 
or we can believe these testimonies, if they even exist, are pure fiction.. 
The first option has little historical validity, the second is an insult to 
African American intelligence, so I'll go with number three.

Tom, is that stuff  the pap you are going to be spoon feeding us over the 
next few days?  I want a refund.
