This is the thread that will not end.
It just goes on and on, my friend.
Some people started posting here not knowing what it was.
And they'll just keep on posting here forever just because.
This it the thread that will not end.
It just goes on and on, my friend...
With apologies to Shari Lewis.
Well, slavery is an important part of the American story. As you can see, people still have strong feelings about it.
I wish that I could have participated more. But, there are times when I have to leave for a bit and do something that consumes almost all of my time and requires my complete concentration. Then, when we're done with that, I can reclaim my life and even post a bit again. And, as I get older, I need more and more free time.
So, let's do what we can to keep this thread alive. People shouldn't forget that there was a time in our country when people actually owned other people and that it was legal even after we presented the world with a declaration that all men "are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
What can be more important than that?
