That's your problems, stand. You don't think. You don't think at all. Ever. Under any circumstances.

In Jack Hurst's "Nathan Bedford Forrest: A Biography" on pages 330-331, he details how Forrest himself in later life claimed he had bought an interest in the Wanderer, on which he and his partners had shipped over 400 slaves illegally into the U.S. He seemed proud of the fact that only a few dozen died on the trip. Forrest apparently bragged, "They were very fond of grasshoppers and bugs, but I taught them to eat cooked meat, and they were as good (negroes) as any I ever had." And Lord knows the man bought and sold hundreds, if not thousands of slaves in his time. He should know.
