Of course the first line in the article says that it is for people in "elementary school" which, in the U.S. seems to be the first 4 grads in the school system. the Wiki says for children between the ages of 4 - 11. Which apparently says something about either your reading, or comprehensive, ability. -- cheers, John B. I posted it because we have Leftists here and we all know that they are dummer than dirt. Now do you have a problem with the Contents of the article..or are you simply bitching because it explained things so the Leftist could understand it? Hummm? Gunner No, I didn't spend a lot of time studying the article, but it seemed to say that at various times slavery has been a part of almost every society, which, of course, is true. After winning the Battle of Alesia, September, 52 BC, Julius Caesar gave each soldier in his army one of the captured as a slave. This amounted to something like forty thousand slaves.... from a single campaign. In his eight years of campaigning against the Gaul's, he was said to have enslaved more than a million people. What the article seemed to ignore was that in nearly every society slavery died out primarily because slaves, while cost effective in a purely agricultural environment are somewhat less efficient when the society becomes less dependent on agriculture and begins to depend more on machinery. Yes..and your excellent summation had what to do with Leftist world views? Gunner I don't know, after all you would be a far better spokesman for the "leftist" side of things, being the recipient of government furnished medical care. In a purely "rightist" environment - pay for what you get - you would be under the ground. -- cheers, John B. |
