But we do know some of the bad. MLK was a womanizer that cheated on his wife. And we know some of the good, Hitler developed lots of infrastructure in Germany, including the Autobahn. When it comes to history, there's what you're taught, and then there's what you care to learn by exploring for yourself. You can't just assume that everyone has stopped at what they're taught. Some continue to educate themselves.

I agree but what I’m saying is their entire lives we’re not published for you to know or learn about. How many times in our lives did each of us believe one thing about a celebrity only to learn the complete opposite? I liked OJ in his day. Thought he was a stand up dude. Until I learned what was in the mans head. That’s one sick MFr! Bill Cosby anyone? Michael Jackson?

I've been to St. Augustine. I don't recall them saying Ponce de Leon founded the city. I do recall them continuing the myth that Ponce de Leon was seeking the Fountain of Youth.

There’s a plaque there with an entire story. I haven’t been there in a while to remember where but next time I go back, I’ll snap a picture of it.

Hear me out. Rather than that, start over. All guns must be turned in. But, you can apply and go through a background check, show proof of insurance for the gun, demonstrate safe keeping, and you get your gun back.

Anyone keeping an unlicensed gun gets a minimum of 10 years in prison for each gun they retain illegally.

Does this apply to all military, police officers, secret service agents and personal bodyguards?

According to the stats I've seen, over 42k people were killed in car accidents last year, just in the U.S. alone. We should identify what types of cars were involved in the most deaths and ban those.

Unless you are specifically referring to deaths which were caused by motorists who deliberately steered their cars into either vehicular or pedestrian traffic (and had thus, turned their cars into weapons), then this is a false analogy. This thread involves the discussion of events related to pre-meditated, mass murder; not deaths which resulted by way of an avoidable error, a reckless accident, or careless negligence.

I laugh at myself a lot but in this case you are turning into the lead board jester and that's hard to do.

Well, Breathy (and good ole Rickyvol77) I'm abandoning you. It's been marginally fun, but you have no imagination, verbal or otherwise, you bore me.
In ending our discourse, however, I recommend the following. Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite, and furthermore always carry a small snake. I recommend the black mamba species.

I live in St Augustine. I don't recall any place saying he landed here. Just the fountain of youth tourist attraction. It's mostly just the Spanish occupying the area that I've seen. Idk. Maybe they used to.

Not insulting anyone's intelligence, but we do have the personal writings of some of the Founding Fathers who were there, so we do have insight into the process and what they were thinking.

Also reading the congressional record which they make arguments in. Dull but gives good measure of where they stood.

It’s probably been 10-15 years since I’ve been there. I took an old girlfriend on one of the tours where they showed us all the plaque and talked and talked and talked about Ponce de Leon.

Actually, I listed the Three most powerful politicians in America; the President, the Speaker of the House, and the Senate majority leader.
But if it makes you feel better, I would not desire Trump, Cruz, or McConnell as friends either
