I was talking about this:
As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes." When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and catholics."
I probably misunderstood what the heck you were talking about there, overall, but I see the gender neutral standard there is clear as day.

Oh that was an Abe Lincoln quote?
OK.
I agree that you didn't do a great job of sparking discussion with this. Did you just want to acknowledge change or something?

Yes.
Sparking a discussion was not my intent.

Threads started without the intent of starting a discussion are the worst kinds of threads.
