Anne, you offer a half-hearted apology to the list, then try to include me
with 'your side.' I don't understand why you believe 'the other side' is so
scholarly -- you apparently haven't investigated even one of many challenges
to the accuracy and merits of their many claims. 'Scholarly' means so much
more than an academic process. But it seems you indeed do recognize the
culture wars do exist and are indeed important -- just as Joseph Ellis and
others of your 'the other side' have told and directed you. There is no
turncoat here, I don't know why/how you ever thought this was possible.
I'll stick with my independent beliefs as I have presented them at VA-HIST.
