When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

What's the best book on John Brown?

Is John brown talked about much in history classes? I just assumed he was covered a lot because I went to school in a certain sacked town that he was something of a folk hero to. But yes John brown owns

Sherman's pretty bad but not really comparable to history's most successful rapist and (per capita) murderer

I had to learn about John Brown in my WV History class in a WV Public Middle School.

WV doesn't have a lot of celebrities so we take who we can get including Charles Manson for a few years and Chuck Yeager.

The Virgin Johnson
- Incel loner with no friends or family
- C- dropout student
- Racist
- Killed indiscriminately
- Life was ended in less than a day by a little robot
- Wanted to weaken the Dallas Police, ended up making them stronger

The Chad Dorner
- Honorable motives
- University graduate
- Well liked in the community, had hot wife
- At large for two weeks due to inability to be cornered
- Fully understood the enormity and horror of what he was doing, shouldered the burden anyway
- Ultimately vindicated in further investigation, brought about change in LAPD

No, John Brown was a hero who stood up for what was right against the evil elitist slave owning Democrats. Today he would stand up for the little babies.

Conservative racism is way more subtle than pining for slavery. Its mostly endless culture war against the LIBERALS now
