Importation of slaves was illegal in the USA after 1807, but
ownership was still legal. The South's economy was based on
hand labor agriculture, cotton. A lot of white people
fought and died to free the slaves. A lot of Southerners
fought and died to preserve their life-style. Both were
honorable.
So, you believe it is honorable to fight and die to preserve the
ability to own people as property?

Gee...isn't hindsight beautiful? Wanna bet a months pay which side
you'd have been on IN REAL TIME? Bet that145 years ago, you'd been
"Massa".

As a matter of historical fact, my ancestors were not "Massa" as far back
as the early 1700s, which is about as far back as I've been able to trace
them.

I didn't say your ancestors, I said YOU!

We can make arrangements for you to send your month's pay to me later.

When you learn to differentiate between yourself and other people...unless
you have multiple personalities.

In which case, this is even more unlikely. I am completely against the
idea that people can be "owned" by another person.

What "other people" might you be referring to, Matt? I thought you were
referring to something that could be empirically determined but was
obviously mistaken, as your "clarification" suggests. None the less, your
"clarification" only makes things easier, since I am quite clear about my
attitudes toward slavery, and they are completely incongruous with any
possibility of being "Massa". Get your check ready.

Well, if you're that anal...

See hindsight remarks above.

Here's a question for you to see how firm your position is:

Is health care a right?

At the very least should it be provided in some cases by government?

And, in my case, completely unnecessary to determine the issue you
presented.

Not in the USA.

At the very least should it be provided in some cases by government?

That depends on the type of society that US citizens want to have. I play
the cards in my hand, not the ones that might have been dealt under some
imaginary circumstances. YMMV.

Oh, I think that is a cheap out. Not that I didn't expect it.

The statement was obvious, but I guess I should have expected an adolescent
evasion/spin in response.

If I wanted his family history, I would have asked for family history.

Are you MPD too?
