The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

I have trouble viewing the survival of humans post-earth as all that important. |

Me too, Jon. As a species, taken as a whole, I'd say we probably deserve to be destroyed. |
