Unrelated, but I used to have a copy of this album, and it’s long since disappeared… I should rebuy it at some point.
Still relevant:
Let the games begin! I’m hoping for selection of a candidate in a way that doesn’t significantly reduce the number of Democrats in the House. Would love to see some in the GOP removed before the next election, too:
And remind me…which “tradition” was that one side fighting to continue? I can’t put my finger on it…
Good luck dude. Have a feeling this guy needs a vacation.
He deserves a vacation after the treatment, non-pharmaceutical treatment for clinical depression is hard.
The same “rights” the “State’s Rights” argument is very careful to not specify. I remember an argument with a guy insisting Lincoln was a thief for stealing the property of Southerners. “But what, exactly, was that property?”
I recently learned that when the war ended, “The North” also seized 400,000 acres from enslavers, for the expressed purpose of fulfilling to freemen the 40 acres and a mule promise. Andrew Johnson, racist that he was, reneged on the promise. Worse yet, the land was given back to the former enslavers.
That Johnson was a real dick.

Well, one only needs look to the country that got rid of slavery slightly earlier (and was responsible for it being a valid economic model) to understand what the proto-capitalists desired, and that was to be remunerated for their loss of earnings. The humans who were responsible for those earnings, were supposed to take the largesse, the gift of freedom, as their payment for having sacrificed everything a human being could hold dear for the profit of some assholes.
The UK paid off the debt incurred in 1852 for the slavery abolition act in… 2015? Still not one penny to the actual enslaved people.
