    There is a big difference between having to repent for evil and having to repent for incompetence. I suspect that the sign is referring to the latter.

    I know I might regret expressing my opinion on this, but it really wasn't that bad of a film.

    Oh yeah! The musical number with guest appearances by Ted Turner and former Senator George Allen.

    True, I did like some of it, especially the Fredericksburg battle sequences, but speaking for us Yanks, it was a bit biased towards the Confederacy.

    But in the eyes of the most rigorous stitch-counter for instance, evil and incompetance go hand-in-hand! Just kiddin'.

    Yea but rubber muskets and rubber bayonets are visible throughout the film. Also Neither Lee nor Jackson were bearded at the start of the war. Lee had dark hair going gray and wore a drooping mustache of the type favored by army officers in the 1850s. He grew his well known beard while serving as Jefferson Davis's military advisor. Jackson was clean shaven and grew a beard later out of his well known disinterest in his personal grooming and appearance.
    This is my signature. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.
    My signature is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
    Without me, my sig is useless. Without my sig, I am useless.
