More ought to be made of the fact that the British and Americans abolished the institution of slavery, while it still persists to this day in other parts of the world.

What a wonderful discussion that, to me, seeks to bring us all up to present time so we can go forward!

If I were to sit and wallow in the very bad things that were done to me in my childhood, I’d not have made a decent adult of myself. “Life is suffering” and our challenge is to overcome and grow despite the challenges.

I just listened to a talk by Victor Davis Hanson speaking for a Hillsdale College mini-course in which he points out that slavery never originally had anything to do with race! It had to do with civilization, economics, and the old way of life. We in the West have eradicated slavery by instituting government thru Citizenship. It is the gift to us by our country’s founders. We should embrace IT, not our past failures from before that. That’s the only way to go forward as a united people.
