It was 200 years ago today that Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton had their fatal duel. [Descendants](http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/Northeast/07/11/hamilton.burr.ap/index.html) re-enacted it. Hopefully, everyone had enough milk to wash down their peanut butter. ---

I don’t get these historical family feuds. I read an [article](http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/discover/archive_features/052.shtml) which talks about how the Christian and Bligh (of Mutiny on the Bounty fame) families still have a grudge. Get over it already. I can’t imagine teaching my children to dislike another family simply because an ancestor hated one member from the other family hundreds of years ago.
