William Tecumseh Sherman:

[bovine6]

7. I apologize.

I wrote poorly, and of course genocide is never acceptable, except perhaps in self-defense (if that has even happened.) Something like poisoning the wells on one's island right before the invading brutes arrive. Something I'd do myself.

But, sorry, when I hear "Sherman" I only think War Between the States and my mind went there. I come from a family of military people (and southerners) and I don't like most of them. In fact, many are criminal pieces of shit and, naturally, Trump voters. They don't like me, either. I'm sorry that I overreacted. Mea culpa.
