babble is rabble.ca's discussion board but it's much more than that: it's an online community for folks who just won't shut up. It's a place to tell each other — and the world — what's up with our work and campaigns.

ikosmos: just between two Babblers, I find the majority of your posts here hugely problematic, based on a whole range of dubious assumptions and framed by what I consider to be weak logic and unsubstantiated leaps of political faith. 

Then you make the Whitman connection, and all - OK, almost all - is redeemed.

“Do I contradict myself? Very well, then, I contradict myself; I am large -- I contain multitudes.” 

Thanks for posting this link/article.

Thanks for the thread, very interesting historical piece about the American Civil War. It would be interesting to look into other Whitman's letters in the future.
