Reply #22: Wallace didn't use ax-handles - Maddox in Georgia did. [View All]

And I agree, somewhat with your thesis. Re-education is a viable option and wisdom with age is also a factor (I know this from my experience with my father). But Wallace was always more of a politician than an actual "racist". He used whatever means he could to gain and hold power - if that meant he bashed blacks, then he bashed them, if that meant he supported blacks, then he supported them. But you cannot cajole a racist or an gay-hater. Re-education must begin with stout confrontation, in my opinion...
