Albert Tatlock Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 People shouldn't be allowed to effectively 'rewrite history'. It a should be actively discouraged, and a trend that seems to be growing - especially in modern films, and TV representations etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Ayres Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Damn nice cookies though Cookies? I suspose they're just called 'cookies' where you are. Much the same as Brussel Sprouts are called 'sprouts' in Brussels. (Eh? WTF is a sprout, says C) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 It's not really about rewriting history, Albert, it's about the present. Does Maryland still view it's Northern neighbours as scum, does it think of Lincoln as a despot today? This is about how Maryland wishes to celebrate itself today.

SugarBee Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland,_My_Maryland As you can see, the only verse really used is the third verse. I agree with Mr. Tatlock. Why revise history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
