As an unrelated aside, I have little interest in movies but have an academic background in history. Dumb and Dumber (referring to the movie and not any particular administration) co-star Jeff Daniels will always hold a special place for me because of his portrayal of one of this country's most remarkable figures, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, in the movie Gettysburg.
Chamberlain's leadership and bravery at Little Round Top during the fighting at Gettysburg was instrumental in the overall Union victory.
I expect the lunacy of overreaction now pervading this country to continue. The movie will probably soon be banned and children taught that the Union actually fought invisible ghosts in July 1863, or fought amongst themselves, or that the Battle of Gettysburg (or entire Civil War) never happened. After all, we could never let Truth enter schoolrooms today and teach that over 50,000 brave men, some carrying Stars and Stripes and others flying Stars and Bars, but all of them Americans, were killed, wounded, or went missing in that battle.
When I heard that the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum caved to Big Brother and pulled Confederate flag merchandise, I knew Truth lost another home. Their action is an insult to both History and to Reality.
