You know, I expected Shane to correct me if I was wrong, which as usual I
was. As I said, this is what I heard from Don & Mike, and I figured they'd
know better than I what happened. Of course, these are the same guys who
talk about Disney trying to deal with rats by poisoning hot dog chunks (one
of which a small child ate, but he recovered) and sending the Disney Secret
Police into tunnels in DisneyWorld with snubnose .38s to take care of
4"-diameter spiders. Of course, I wouldn't really be able to blame them for
the latter, as I'd bring a gun if I could use the thing for a footstool. I
guess the upside is that they're not presenting HIstory According to Disney
(tm), in which whites and Indians would have gotten along splendidly and
that pesky "Civil War" thing would've just been a slight misunderstanding.
Disney's just crass enough to do it (or so it would seem).

Well, I've certainly derailed this thread, haven't I?
