[Vision2020] Re: Earlier question

[Ted Ryan]

Given that a few people have looked in the archives and haven't found the
list, it may be that I saw the list somewhere else led to it by someone
here.  I will find it and post it.

I have not read Mr. Douglas's works so I don't have much of a comment about
that, but certainly that would be relevant and considered.  No one is
claiming all slaves were high on the hog, and if Mr. Douglas's experience
was bad it doesn't mean that everyone in turn had it rough.

Again, I repeat myself, I am not advocating for slavery's return, I am as
glad as anyone it is gone.  I never want to see it again.
