BTW, I think if you scratch the surface of anyone history has  
deified, you will find human failings.  None of them were perfect  
people; that is an unrealistic fiction, probably encouraged by  
today's media-drive age. They always need a story that sells, and  
dirt sells, so dig up dirt. It's an immature attitude we have today,  
that any great man or woman must have led an immaculate life, or else  
they are phonies and frauds. What good they did goes out the window  
if they are less than perfect.
