I Don't Get It!
#1
I was surfing the web today and saw that Keepsake Quilting is having a sale to celebrate the anniversary of the Civil War. I'm sorry, but IMHO the war that tore this country in two is not something to be celebrated! I'm grateful that it put an end to slavery, but that wasn't the real reason the war was fought in the first place...it's the piece of the problem that got the most attention through the years.

You know, I bet it won't even occur to most people that "celebrating" a war - any war - is in poor taste. I'm sure they just meant it as a way to get people interested in celebrating the fabrics and styles of the era.
I'm near Gettysburg, and there's a small, dusty-looking shop in my town devoted to everything Civil War. Lots of people are interested in reading about it, reenacting it, having reproductions of the artifacts, etc.
