[Paved Paradise]

I know. My son was telling me about that a long time ago. I don’t know much about the history of the Slavs, but that’s where the Slavic people come from - Eastern Europe. Thanks!

I searched on "origin of the term slave" and came up with this: "The term slave has its origins in the word slav. The slavs, who inhabited a large part of Eastern Europe, were taken as slaves by the Muslims of Spain during the ninth century AD." From http://faculty.mdc.edu/jmcnair/Joe8pages/roots_of_slavery.htm And this: SLAVE Origin: 1250–1300; ME sclave < ML sclāvus (masc.), sclāva (fem.) slave, special use of Sclāvus Slav, so called because Slavs were commonly enslaved in the early Middle Ages; see Slav. From http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/slave So now we know who they were enslaved by. I want reparations, Screwy Louie! :)
