Follow me real close here....The first people who arrived here did not have slaves they came to escape high taxes, poverty, and slavery where they were from....(no slaves chattel or otherwise yet)....to make it shorter I'll say some decided they couldn't make a go of things without more help and needed workers..... :idea3:  We'll just buy people and what better place than where we came from because we know they want to escape and will be ripe pickin's.  And it mushroomed from there into what eventually became slavery.  There were no factories yet either.  :razz:  Now go have your laugh and snicker to yourselves just quit trying to make all the slavery, racial, bigot BS a political corporate greed thing from day one. It was a human greed period as in all humans not just one race or background.

Why do we never see baby crows or pigeons?

Why does Hawaii need interstate highways?

  From what I been told on the birds.  The crows and the pigeons are about the same size as parents and fully feathered out.  You might tell the young pigions at that  time, is their colors will be a little brighter.

  Interstate highways for Hawaii?  Would be like the million dollar highway to nowhere in Alaska.  The highway that Sara asked for but really didn't ask for.  Huh?

Why does Hawaii have interstate highways?
Any highway built under the auspices of the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 and funded by the federal governent is called an interstate highway, even if it doesn't cross state lines. In fact, there are many local routes that lie entirely within a single state funded by the Act.
Hawaii has three interstates - H1, H2, and H3 - which connect important military facilities on the island of Oahu.

You're the only one trying to do that. The rest of us were discussing how indentured servants came to this country.

Oh yeah, you and Glen Beck were also trying to prove it was invented by some black guy who was indentured at Jamestown.

Hey me, wanna buy a great big bridge?

Your source written by your guy:

Straw man again, everybody. Didja all see it? Me posts from a topic entitled "Revolutionary War" for her first excerpt, then contrasts it with a topic entitled "The Advent of Slavery." Then she hops up and down and squeals because they aren't identical. It never occurs to her that they aren't identical because they aren't discussing the same thing!

If y'all are really concern about the integrity of the domain, check out the rating on websitetrafficspy or Alexa. That's what I do when I'm using a source with which I'm unfamiliar. It's especially helpful with those "news of the weird" propaganda sites the lunatic fringe prefer.

Actually, watching me squirm around and try to deny she said what she said, when any idiot can page back one screen and read her original idiocy, is frighteningly reminiscent of the public utterances of most current political figures. Have we all really become that stupid? ... that we let them get by with EASILY DISPROVED lies, and vote for one or the other of these ethically bankrupt candidates in every election?

Surely there must be a reckoning.

  It seem that air was created by God so Adam and Eve had some to breath.   :biggrin:
