You guys cutting back on rum is gonna kill the British slave trade. The Brits used the cash from rum sales to buy slaves in Afreeka. Then they sold the slaves to the Spaniards in the Carribean to raise the sugar cane. The cane sugar went to New England to make rum which the Brits hauled to Merry old England to sell King Charley’s family. Then the cash goes south again. (that’s why we call them Merry)

You don’t want to be accused of being selfish. Do your part.
