Note that I was writing to John. Where YOU came from is a mystery. ;)

DP> > Slavery ended?

DP> > There is STILL slavery in the world, honey bunny!

DP>The discussion was regarding the US and the slavery we've

Shit, I LOVE  current U.S. slavery!
I gots my boy slave sucking my dick as we write! ;)

DP>Granted there are still several types of
DP>slavery that take place today in the world,

No, there is only ONE type of slavery, son! SLAVERY!

DP>but that wasn't the point of the discussion.

NOW you articulate differences?

DP>And honey bunny?  Awww, I'm flattered! :)

I love the term.
I first heard it in Pulp Fiction.

DP>I didn't say the Civil War was entirely about slavery.

Inference counts.

DP>But, we had
DP>slavery in the US up until the Civil War, when it was more or less

I'll agree there.

DP>And, "compose your written offerings"?  To what are you referring?

Sorry if I "mis-complained". It was JohnJ I shoulda pointed that at.
Actually, I probably did but it might have been snipped out. Thas' fine.
