“Hefner’s genius was in always getting the very best people, whether in entertainment, management, editing, or cartooning: he went directly to the top.”
Yes, Stephen, murderous treason. And the statements from each state that turned on the USA and its laws of the time, each was that they wanted to continue enslaving fellow Americans on their Southern properties. That's what they each had in common. That's what drove their insurgency against America. This is not the same as being conservative, which would allow for states more latitude than a liberal attitude. Thus, it is not a right versus left thing. It's about human decency versus heinous crimes what we have governments to protect us from in the first place. Did some self-righteous white supremacists die as a result? Did some who thought it was about states rights die as a result? Granted, but it took the Civil War to dig this country out of the shame, insanity, the holocaust evil of human enslavement. Nowadays, your Lee guy would be called a terrorist, a Nazi killer. Indeed, Hitler patterned his propaganda after how America was able to keep races out of power. We need to stop candy coating these horrific crimes. You up to being enslaved for the rest of your life? Anyone here up for being enslaved on another person's property for the rest of their lives, forced labor, raping your children, selling your family? Anyone? Then Robert E Lee is your hero! This is what was against the law: the enslavement of others into a lifetime of forced labor.
