I was working on what will be my July essay at the Web Site, and it has a section on the slavery issue, and the absurd effort to revive it as a vehicle to attack the South..

Bill Flax writing about African slavery..again. Surprise surprise...

Of course, the South need no more apologize for slavery than Massachusetts for hanging witches, or putting people into stocks for petty indiscretions.

Coming from one of the neo-confederate's chief slavery apologists, I'm not surprised to see you compare lifelong human bondage with such stern Puritan punishments as stocks or the dunking chair. Shame on you [lol].

As far as hanging witches in Massachusetts is concerned, the practice was ended in the 1600s. It's too bad we can't say the same about African slavery in the Old South.

Oh yes, the legal beagle of the just across the river secessionists. The 5th columnist crowd. They do try so extra hard to be good little neo-confederates.

Slavery? In America -- I mean in that collection of separate nations. Did that have something to do with the Civil War? Gezz, so often these days I read slavery was such a non-issue, was maybe of minor importance when reviewing places like South Carolina. When was that year? 1960? 1860? 1861? You know they almost have me convinced....of something else.

What would happen today to anyone bombing a U.S. military installation?
