Revision as of 23:54, December 6, 2008
, 23:54, December 6, 2008Down-under diplomacy at work,
:::My mood stems only from the reflection that so many people have enslaved so many others. My gloom is lifted by the reflection that it was British Christians who abolished slavery first (around 1805?) and that American Christians could complete the abolitionist task a mere 6 or 7 decades later. Pretty good for a ragtag bunch of former colonists: we through off the yoke of foreign domination, fight a Civil War, and then free our slaves. For an encore, we win two world wars and defeat Communism. Oh, I'm not gloomy at all. What '''will''' we do next? I can hardly wait! --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 18:39, 6 December 2008 (EST)
