Herbert,

I seriously doubt that you have found any of those authors "with their hand 
in the till" to any greater extent than that of any other author who write a 
book and expects to profit from the sales. Your constant mischaracterization 
of people you don't know beans about is one more nail in the coffin of your 
idea of "truth" vs "lies".

As to my website, it is a volunteer effort on my part and the site is 
provided by a charitable organization, The Enabling Support Foundation 
http://www.enabling.org founded by a good friend, Dr. Robert Zenhausern who 
provides all funding for the foundation and supports the server my works 
lives on. You may find it of interest that my first website was on 
Virginia's PEN (it has only come off in the past few months since I no 
longer keep it up). I assume that you would know that Virginia's PEN, for 
which I was one of the original builders, was the joint project of the DOE 
and UVA. I ran the Academy One project on Virginia's PEN, which was the 
forerunner of Educational Synthesis: http://www.educationalsynthesis.org

You may also note that my website ends with a "org". That means I do not 
market ANYTHING! The stories I write both under My Own Books and Famous 
Americans, are free to any user, and the users are from just about every 
country in the world. I have, as an aside, written one book, but it is not 
on history, which is sold in a paper version. I do not "advertise" it on 
this list and am not doing so now.

Now, as to miscegynation, it is a disgrace when practiced, as is evident in 
the current population in Virginia, without the consent of the woman. As a 
slave, the woman had no right to refuse the master anything he ordered, 
whether it was to service his needs, or that of his friends and relatives. 
To assert that this cannot be "proved" without an admission of the white 
man, is to continue, in the 21st century, the abusive mindset of the time of 
slavery. Every one of those half-white children had a father, and with 
today's scientific advancements, and those that will come tomorrow, it IS 
possible to ascertain with scientific certainty which white man did the 
deed. White men who practice abusive sex are no longer shielded by the 
notion that only those children they "acknowledge" are theirs.

And, it is assertions such as you made today about mixed race children being 
"fatherless" unless the skunk who did it chooses to "fess up" that is the 
reason behind my statement that Jefferson, being a man and a Virginian, and 
with the circumstancial evidence I've personally examined, is highly likely 
to be the father of Sally Hemings children. And, if he is not the father, 
but the uncle, he was a PIMP!
