        I think the author is a bit naïve about his mother's work at Fairview "tending to underdogs":http://www.oregonlive.com/opinion/index.ssf/2010/01/erasing_fairviews_horrors.html …

        Guess I'm less sympathetic to slaveholders who work at places for which the governor has to apologize for human rights abuse than the author
