Wait - are you trying to tell me Truman joined the KKK without knowing what it was about in the slightest, found out it was a white supremacist group, then promptly left? Like, it was some sort of fact-finding expedition or a test of open-mindedness?

Holy crap.

I especially found the fact that he wore glasses fascinating. That and the fact that he hated the MO Waltz. I thought I was the only one!

Seriously Tom; I tend to have a better view on Truman than others, and think that the passage of time has been kinder to views on his Presidency. However, just because the guy was a Lambda Chi, and you look up to him, doesn't mean he was free of faults.

Also, can we please stop the "you can't talk about history because you weren't there" arguments.

LOL, hell, KSigkid, I did not know he was a LXA until many years later and found it very interesting as He was an Honoray member from the Un. Mo. Chapter.

I never said he was free of faults, I was talking a time frame in life that most who are living now were not then! But in reading CYBER makes it correct to some as I take it?

When one knows a person then that is important don't you agree?

Sorry, just trying to give a bit of a back ground on a short statured body and a plain man what he ended up accomplishing.
