Why don't you and Basil take this discussion offline. The bickering and response to comments from people just goes to prove that common sense and civility are rare but wholesale ignorance and intolerance goes to the bone. I am willing to wager 10to 1 that Basil is really yojsouth both are using AOL and the comments seem oddly of the same tenor. So let him and yo jerk of the south, yojsouth, suffer their ignorance in peace. -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of research and writing about Virginia history [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Anne Pemberton Sent: Friday, June 22, 2007 3:59 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Violent holidays (was Re: Juneteenth) Basil, How do you know for a fact that the zoo is off limits to anyone who cannot prove African heritage on that day?
