<DIV>Excellent points, Melynda. I can't help but wonder which is the
greater offense -- being so dull and insensitive as to make a choice so galling
to so many, or enjoying another opportunity to offer the
community an extended middle finger from the fieldhouse?</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Pat opines, in company with Ted Ryan, that Lee may have been on
the losing <BR>side, but he still might have something to teach us--an
entirely reasonable <BR>point of view, really. And if we were talking
about whether or not a <BR>history professor ought to teach about Lee, whether
or not another <BR>documentary on Lee should be made, whether or not I ought
to read a new <BR>biography of the man, those thoughts would be worth
considering.<BR><BR>On the other hand, does a Civil War general (or even the
president of a <BR>small private college in a war zone) offer a model of
leadership likely to <BR>be useful to the Moscow business community, which is
not at war, nor yet <BR>contemplating (so far as I know) secession?<BR><BR>Is
a Confederate general a wise choice of role model in a town which has
<BR>suffered months of painfully divisive public debate about slavery, the
<BR>Confederacy, racism, and history?<BR><BR>Is the use of such materials
evidence of good judgement on the part of a <BR>public official already
experiencing a high degree of public scrutiny for <BR>his part in making
decisions which benefited his church unduly, for his <BR>stated intention to
have his decisions as County Commissioner overseen by <BR>his church, and for
his pattern of hiring only members of his church to work <BR>in the Chamber
offices--particularly when that church is a strongly <BR>pro-Confederate and
pro-slavery organization?<BR><BR>Are the lessons of Lee's leadership likely to
benefit our community so <BR>greatly that all these other questions pale by
comparison?<BR><BR>Melynda Huskey<BR><BR><BR><BR>>From: "Pat Kraut" <<A

2004 22:48:58 -0700<BR>><BR>>As I said...He lost yes but he did go on to
lead a school. And Professor<BR>>Hume of WSU has a great letter from him
that he reads as a part of his <BR>>Civil<BR>>War class. He just may
have something to teach us all about going on and <BR>>not<BR>>giving up
just because we have lost a cause we worked hard on. He knew<BR>>Lincoln,
he was a general in the most divisive war we've had, so the things<BR>>he
wrote after are very interesting. I'k like to suggest that since we
<BR>>don't<BR>>know what Paul was going to say about Lee or what part of
his life he felt<BR>>was worthy of presenting in a leadership meeting that
some of you might <BR>>have<BR>>jumped the gun without any real
