At the risk of being labled a homophobic hatemonger and of Miss Huskey =
not liking me anymore, where do you get this "married" stuff?

Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Aaaaaa! Slavery!
Dear Jeremy:
I am myself descended from slaveowners--Pennsylvania Quaker =
slaveowners, I say with sorrow and regret. I am married to a descendant =
of North Carolina slave owners. Using your argument, nothing I say can =
be construed as revealing a bias against slave owners, since I have a =
fondness for both myself and for Joan. Do you see the difficulty now?
It was Doug Wilson, in the Daily News, who asserted that the purpose =
of his tract was to defend slavery as a Biblical institution. If that's =
not true, and his purpose was to right an historical wrong, I have to =
ask again, what kind of person looks at the institution of slavery in =
the U.S. and says to himself, "You know, those slave owners got a bad =
rap. Everybody feels sorry for the slaves, sure--but who's speaking up =
on behalf of those fine traffickers in human beings, the owners?" =20
The modern historical establishment regularly re-engages the question =
of slavery--witness the brouhaha over *Time on the Cross.* Don't fool =
yourself that the Wilson/Wilkins tract is part of any serious research =
on the subject, though. It's on a par with the work of David Irving.
