Of course, doornails don't work against America.

As to the evolution of Man and a desire for freedom, it is not uncommon for many species to have slaves or exert control over other individuals, including over other species. This may be in our DNA, including submission to control. It may take thousands of years more to shed that gene.

I agree with you regarding the judgement of the world around us today. We are creatures of today and have the right to judge today. We can assess and learn from yesterday, but we can't judge (by yesterday, I mean a different era, of many generations ago. Does not apply to the recent follies). As to being cooked and eaten, the way humanity is "progressing," you may not have to wait too long...

lol .... thank jan

Laugh over morning coffee! Thanks johnpe.

Perhaps I explained myself poorly #6. This is what I meant: http://www.amazon.com/Ancestral-Journeys...

There IS such a thing as 'race' genetically, it just does not have much to do with our common use of the word.

Today's standard is too low. Enslavement, mandatory obedience to a higher power, control of the life of others is the ultimate wrong, now, in the past and for the future. Man, as we know him, evolved thousands of years ago. The desire for freedom is not new and has had proponents as long as history has been recorded. I would prefer to be cooked and eaten than to be a slave.

Yes, quite egregious. Thanks for expanding the point.

Reality is too really real for too many people.
Add that to the too many who want to appear cool to peers who are too f--d up to give a rat's.

You are judging yesterday by today's standards. Slavery was an accepted institution at that time in over one half of the world - all of Africa, all of China, all of Russia, all of the Middle East and one fourth of America. And prior to slavery, that is until a single person could produce more food than he consumed himself, the future slaves were dinner. That is the evolutionary process of animals becoming Man.

I did not know that. Thank you.

From my perspective, they were denied the primary essence of life on earth: freedom. Until you have that, all else is dirt. We are getting dirtier by the day. My grandparent owned slaves in NC and they were supposedly civil to them but they weren't free. I would take a lot of lashes if you would set me free otherwise you are pure evil for being responsible for my bondage.

For proof I submit the unending reign of the one Statist party and their never ending wars.
And supposedly rational people keep voting for insanity (repeating the same action and expecting a different result.)

How many are on prescription mind altering drugs?

Although there were isolated cases of abuse and families were torn apart, that was not generally the case at all. Many of the slaves lived in very decent conditions (for the time) and very treated with a fair amount of respect, depending on their position. Often, in better conditions than they lived after emancipation. The currently popular descriptions of torture and cruelty to slaves are modern propoganda. Read the actual accounts of the time for a completely different picture.

We don't have to be overrun by outside barbarians. We are growing our own.

isn't the "worsening" a result of overblown "reporting"

Sorry, I wasn't clear. What I meant was the depth of the subject not the subject. This is not the place to have a class or review books, etc. That was all I meant.

Somehow your reply really appealed to my warped old dino sense of humor.
Had to stop laughing before I wrote the above.
I'd like to see a "Who's John Galt?" beside it.

Whoa! I didn't know that. Thanks.

We are our own worst enemy.
For proof I submit the reelection of Obama.
