My friend, *we* are the slaves nowadays.
How many Indians are being forcibly marched out of lands they’ve lived on for hundreds of years, and dying by the thousands along the way?
Enough to equal 53 million abortions? 85,000 deaths per year from alcohol? 16,000 AIDS deaths per year? All that inner city crime? I guess it depends on how you count the value of lives, and which ones you consider important.
I’m sure you’re pining for those good old days.
600,000 people died to abolish slavery, and you mock them. Like I said, you are low class.
As Keats said:
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
You’re really going to compare slavery to what we put up with today? Are you REALLY that stupid, or just drinking too much on a Friday night.
Tomorrow, you can leave your house, and go, or do, whatever you want. But you’re going to whine that “you’re a slave”. Poor baby. What you really are is a fool.
If bigbully45 does not calm down, I suggest you gather your family and calmly walk out of the bar together. /s
