I think current slavery is a much more pressing issue. There are millions of slaves alive right now in places like West Africa, Pakistan, Sudan, Haiti, and India. What can be done about it? I dont know. I do know however that finger pointing about slavery of the past diverts needed attention from slavery of the present.

I knew there would be a fair number of groups that had not in recent history at least , made use of slaves. But I imageine if you went back far enough that most people have slave ownership somewhere in there ancestory. So how about we all take $5 and pass it to the left and call it even?

Sorry but the left takes way too much now.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

True, And receiving from the right isn't likely either.
Gee, maybe we should STFU about this and go home.

We should pitch everything and go live in the bush then. Well, shave the bush then live in it.
