 Well Liberty, I think you're going to receive little or no sympathy here for your views. I have to say you, more than any other new member, has me shaking my head. I visit your homepage, see the title and the proclamations plastered all over your blog, and wonder how it is that you reconcile your one set of "beliefs" with your others.

I'm trying to be kind, but I admit I find it hard, as I find your views to be not only myopic and disengenious, but lacking in studious research. So I ask you again, what is it that gives you the right to judge whether it's acceptable for one set of human beings to be held as prisoners, abused and defiled at their owners will, while you would find it intolerable if others suffered the same fate? Exactly where does that type of thinking come from?

You don't have to "remind" the members of this board about the north's part in slavery. And I wouldn't go as far as saying that the north went to war to free the slaves. But I know one thing for damn sure - the South went to war to preserve it.

How it is that you've adopted this line of "thinking" that only those who have experieced liberty are entitled to it, and that others may freely be imprisoned, abused beaten and even killed leaves me with an unusual combination of sadness and disgust.
