	Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so.

	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

Alton Brown would say yes. He brined the turkey that was used to cook the meal in various parts of the car on Myth Busters. Did you catch that episode?

The flavor from the glaze was excellent, and if you like a crispy skin, you will love it. I think it would have been better with a smaller bird. I'd like to try it some other time with a 12-14 pound bird. The logistics were a bit of a pain. The lobster steamer took up half the stove, and Thanksgiving is a rough day to give up extra burners. Plus, getting it from the pot into the roasting pan was a major pain.
