LESBIAN HISTORY- and other important things

"THESE ARE THE TIMES THAT TRY MENS SOULS"The above quote is from Thomas Paines "the crisis".It is a little snippet from Revolutionary war history.In search of some final Christmas gifts, I went to Borders book store. My father is a civil war buff, but knows little about the Revolutionary war. I thought I might get him a general revolutionary war history book. I tried to find the "revolutionary war" section, but could not find it. I could not find it because it did not exist. In order for me to find a book that dealt with the revolution, I would have to go through the "general history" section. I would have to know an author, to find a particular book, or I would have to comb through all of the general history books. Of course, there was a "civil war" section, but there were some other interesting sections in the history section. There was an "afro-american history" section, there was a "american Indian History" section,and my all time favorite, a "Lesbian History and Studies" section. I am trying to be tolerant here folks but could someone explain to me why the heck there is a LESBIAN HISTORY AND STUDIES SECTION, AND NO REVOLUTIONARY WAR SECTION!!??In looking through the "general history" section, I came across a title that interested me. THE BILL OF RIGHTS. I pulled the book and noticed it was written by Caroline Kennedy(thats right, JFKs daughter) and some other woman. WOW I thought, I have to read her second amendment section. It was amazing. Not one bit of historical perspective. The chapter started off lamenting about a certain person whose son was killed by someone. It then went on to describe the council hearings of the first town in the USA that outlawed ownership of handguns(somewhere in Illinois). In the book was a quote from one of the councilmen who voted for the ban. "Listening to these gun nuts was like watching four hours of Archie Bunker." The authors then went on to say that there is no individual right, and that the courts say there is no individual right.Nothing to back up these opinions that were being portrayed as scholarship, just a "there is no individual right" I opened up the jacket to make sure it was THE caroline kennedy of the Kennedy clan, and saw that it was. On the Jacket, it had a brief bio of the authors. I was glad to see that the two authors were law students when they wrote the book. Law students certainly qualify as BILL OF RIGHTS experts. Also accompanying the bios, was a picture of the two authors together. Two women in a very sexy picture. Perhaps the book belonged in the "LESBIAN HISTORY AND STUDIES" section.
