Things To Worry About
Slavery ( Traditional and Economic )
"There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of law and in the name of justice."
— Montesquieu [1689-1755]
"If you are afraid to speak against tyranny, then you are already a slave."
— John Bryant [1943-2009]
A survey in February 2016 found that 20 percent of Donald Trump supporters think that ending slavery was a bad idea.
Alexander Stephens [1812-83]
Vice President of the Confederate States of America
The Constitution ... rested upon the equality of races. This was an error. Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.
— in his "Cornerstone Speech" on 21 March 1861 {blog 7/2021}
