I suppose I can't fault the man for his past beliefs. He was from a bygone era when segregation was the norm and many, especially in the South (sorry warmingup2prose), viewed integration as a threat. We fear that which we do not understand. Thankfully, times have changed for the better. I think that it probably would have been best to leave Senator Thurmond by the side of the road, to be a footnote in an embarrasing segment of American history. He did not belong in this era. I would *hope* that time, education and experience opened Senator Thurmond's eyes and heart. But, alas, I fear that his "change" was politically motivated.

In any case...Rest in Peace Senator Thurmond.
