my point is that the world was an enormously different place way back 
when.  i'm sure we could spend all week drudging up stuff from by-gone 
eras to attempt to "support" our points, but for the most part it is 
all useless.

it is the past.  let it go.  we are expected to be a much more 
sophisticated group of individuals these days (like it or not) and 
trying to win arguments with "Well, this is how Jesus did it."  or  
"This is how FDR did it."  holds no water.

that bucket is broke.
