"Tsavo was on the slave route in the 19th century, and more than 80,000 people were estimated to have died from sickness or injury annually along the route - providing a steady diet of easy human meat to hungry lions."

I called Major Owens about this. He said he does remember lions were actually lining the road waiting for the slaves to drop and those that survived later faced the gauntlet of sharks while in transit to South Carolina where even after 250 years they are still only earning slave's wages with the State Highway Department. Oh, and the number was 8 million not 80,000.

Major Owens? Huh?

So, whoever this "Major Owens" is knows the exact road being described in this story?

Still only earning "slave's wages"? OH... how many slaves were paid what the road crews there make? OH yea, none. If they don't like it- get another job.

Is it my imagination or is the point of Hatteras's post to inflame and race-bait?
