As far as Search engines, Bing and Mojeek do better than Brave and Duck Duck Go. Google and Startpage were the worst on censored results. Yes, it was called doing business. No term for it. Yes, they do teach it and have been caught, even school districts that claim it isn't going on. Why do you think the evidence of such from their students is being presented by parents at school board meetings? Parents on both sides don't want history being taught in the manner of CRT and the transgender unicorn. Merrick Garland's daughter is married to the cofounder of the education company that sells CRT materials to school districts. We live in a fairly conservative area but even my sons have told me the teachers are very biased. One said how his history teacher told everyone that "communism is poetry on paper". Now we have many students railing against "capitalism". Did you know the term capitalism was made up by communists? Before it was known for "doing business". That was the first thing that popped in my head since they're losing on everything else and maybe too late to activate BLM, or maybe that's for later on. We really don't know what they're going to rule in the end but at worst, it goes back to the States to control. Crime has gone up since arrests and prosecutions are down. I know someone who fled Seattle because of robberies that aren't being prosecuted. This guy is on the Left but says to me, "All politics are local" and he couldn't take it. He was actually told by the city they can't do anything about it. Also talked about seeing people defecate in the street. Now he and his wife are staying at their beach house further north, he says he's moved in there for good. A lot of people post things from Rumble. Also Odysee and bitchute. They sound like they were being sarcastic in the video. Who cares? What he needs to do is prove they knew it wasn't disinformation at the time. If everyone drove electric cars, it would be impossible for our grid to supply it. The biggest polluters are China and India but let's not talk about that. They get a pass in the Paris Climate Accord. A lot of our energy is already clean. Totally agree, somehow the people have lost all historical perspective. Here, I found this, the part that was included in that film, about the premiere. https://youtu.be/ASuskXS2FZE?t=158 I don't know if it's online if you want to look. But I think it was this video. https://www.amazon.com/Making-Legend-Gone-Wind/dp/B002OID530 Making of a Legand: Gone with the Wind I believe I had gotten it on DVD some time ago or it might have been a video tape someone gave me who taped it off of their cable! I will have to look around. Ashley in the book was supposed to look blonde, dashing, and not some weakling, I believe he was portrayed like a ray on sunshine and strong before the war. I think the suggestion of Gene Raymond would have fit this description going by some of the images of him. I think Gerald must have strongly influenced Scarlett's loyalty to the land and family, even though in the beginning she seemed pretty shallow. The war is what challenged her to hold onto what was dear in whatever way she could in her social status. I couldn't figure out why Melly loved Scarlett so fiercely, even above Ashley's sisters. Did she not realize how little Scarlett loved her brother? I don't know if Melly knew how bad Scarlett was but maybe she also saw how Scarlett had such a deep loyalty to everyone, even people she didn't care for. Scarlett made sure everyone was taken care of regardless of her feelings for any of them. Whereas, Suellen wouldn't have made sure Tara was saved and everyone was secure. That's why Scarlett married Frank, she knew Suellen wouldn't have helped the rest of them nor save Tara. Perhaps, Melly understood all that. Still, it seemed Melly had an attachment to Scarlett from the beginning. Maybe she knew how much Scarlett begrudged taking care of her and yet she did and made sure Melly had the best when she had her baby. That's the kind of loyalty Melly might admire, she knew Scarlett would have everyone's back. I remember when I read the book I was pretty frustrated that Rhett knew Scarlett realized her love for him at the end, I believe he said he could see it written all over her face. And yet, HE rejected her. He was so afraid she would hold it over him if she knew he really loved her but in the end, it was HE who decided he didn't love her anymore after she realized her love for him. I find it ironic. Maybe he was in love with the chase for her love all along. Ashley was a surname. Surnames were more popular with boys until later last century. A lot of boy's names went to girls but never went back to boys. Meredith is a last name turned into a first name. So is Madison, which became a popular girl's name because of the movie, Splash. Shirley used to be a boy's name, too. Evelyn was a boy's name. I saw a making of Gone with the Wind and they showed at the premiere in Atlanta some Confederate Civil War veterans attending, they were very elderly and must have been very young during the war. I didn't find it weird, we sort of had those people in my high school. There was the "popular" crowd but the ones at the very top were always nice to everyone. It was the hangers on popular crowd that seemed to be meaner or more self conscious of who they spoke to or regarded to others. It also seemed that in the later high school years, there was a lot more mingling among the social groups, at least the ones that went to parties.
