My message to you is that you and Mr. Lincoln have no control over one another. There is nothing you can do to change what he did and there is nothing that he did that limits you in any way. If you can't own slaves today, it is not because of Lincoln; it is because we are making it illegal today. So, forget about Lincoln. You repeat yourself a lot. You also miss my point a lot.
My message to you is that if you want to improve your circumstances, you should concentrate on making changes that you can make.
I gotta give you credit, once you've leapt at a theory, you certainly stick with it. I am actually doing quite well, all things considered. Once again, my situation is irrelevant to the point. I am altruistic, and I see much present and future harm which has been brought to us as a result of bad decisions made in the past.
For some reason you seem to take this view of the past, especially as regards the subsequent consequences of the Civil War:
Yes, I understand what you're
saying - why should we be responsible for the way in which we do things when we haven't had time yet to correct the crazy decisions that people made hundreds of years ago?
Yes, you've put your finger on it. That is the delusion to which I have been referring.
It's just an empty excuse.
