 I just added the DVR service to my cable package, and I suppose one of the benefits is that I'm able to record Civil War Journal on the History Channel. It comes on at 5:00 am on Tuesdays here in the Mountain Time Zone. This week it was about John Brown.

I realize everyone here knows the story very well. Lawrence, Harpers Ferry, etc, but man, what a historical figure. I know the story too, and have for awhile. But still, after this short episode, it feels like there is another ping pong game going on in my head. How do others feel about John Brown? Was he a martyr? Or was he a nut?
