Reply to comment by Troll_For_Truth in An essay on The Harlan County War by BonesOfTheWaywardSon
My family's from Harlan, founded one of the towns there. From the Civil War until about the '80s, most males on the family tree spent time as an outlaw.
The James Gang used to stay at my grandma's farm after they moved to Missouri, and at her house in Texas after they moved.
Two of my distant Confederate cousins murdered another cousin when he came home because he had served as a recruiter for the Union.
I'm not from there (visited once), but I've always gotten the feeling that the men from that time and place were men of action.

That's pretty old at a time when life expectancies sometimes didn't hit 40...

Yeah, just spin up some pseudophilosophical horseshit about the existence of god. That'll make you right.
You said nobody had said it before, I proved they did, quit your bullshit.

21 As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. 2 He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. 3 “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”
Luke 21:1-4
I'm no Bible-thumper, but it's been said

A poor person giving you $100 is a greater gift than a rich person giving you a million.

Australia's punching above their weight. I assume it's a result of the Vegemite and koala meat.
