Was Goliad where the infamous black bean/white bean decimating of Texan soldiers occurred? Is Hughes Witt a relative?

It's refreshing to see that there are still some people out there that realize the meaning of the word decimate.To judge from the various Lois Lamebrain reporters out there reporting the "news"on civilian or military casualties they have'nt the vaguest concept that it was not a reduction of 10 per cent. Never mistake motion for Action E.H.
