here comes more ridiculous news that state senator robert barham (r) oak ridge via his senate resolution no. 130 wants to name a building at louisiana state university "in honor of" union civil war general william tecumseh sherman.
snip:
WHEREAS, William Sherman was a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point and, although a complex man, went on to serve his country on a number of levels at which he achieved great success and distinguished himself;
this is another prime example of the unthinking, uncaring bunch of goofs that we have in our louisiana legislature. nevermind that general sherman was a general in the enemies army, nevermind that general sherman burned down atlanta, (and more) in georgia in his infamous march to the sea, nevermind that sherman was a party to committing genocide against the native americans. this is the kind of person that our louisiana legislature thinks is someone who is honorable and deserves recognition.
