Not historically accurate. If you don’t mind my saying, it reads more like a right wing wish fulfillment dream.

Though I’m certain we all appreciate being disabused of this rather touching, though apparently innacurate, tale, I think that it’s possible you misinterpreted LTS’s motivation in posting it. I didn’t read it as a subversive political statement, but rather as a sweet anecdote addressing the ideas of “paying it forward” and “karma.” Maybe the difference in interpretation is due to the fact that I avoid the CC political threads like the plague. They can be quite toxic and can promote excessive cynicism. ;)
