You can go back in time and prevent a great catastrophe. Which one would you prevent?

The two are in opposing camps. You think one is entirely negative and the other entirely positive. By what means do you claim these are perfect ?

I don 't remember doing that.

It can mean a lot of things, depending on the circumstances.

A government for the entire world
is worse than dangerous. Human nature being what it is,
it will inevitably degenerate into a permanent despotism.

Vagueness is not an answer either in the court room or outside it. I would like an answer.

It does not MEAN anything in particular, that comes to my mind.

I love the silly scenes of happy blacks being capture and drag off by the evil white men to their slaves ships in the movie Roots.

Too bad they was not honest enough to show how it really happen with the coastal tribes happily selling their more inland neighbors for such trade goods as iron bars of all things.

The ones I feel most sorry for are those who ended up not at the North American Colonies but in such places as the French colony of Haiti where they was work to death to the tune of 30,000s a year!

@BillRM,
When the British announced they were going to stop the slave trade, the african king (emperor?) wrote asking for it to be continued as it would spell the end of the good times for his people. He was right. The slave trade stopped and his kingdom collapsed into poverty.

@Ionus,
History is never simple in any regards look what happen to Zimbabwe once the evil white farmers were force out and their lands divided into small lots.

Once one of the major breadbaskets for the region the citizens are now starving to death and the country is in a constant chaos and unrest.

There were all kinds of arrangements that could had been work out that would had greatly improved the living standards and freedoms of the bulk of it citizens without going over the cliff as they had done.

It a shame that people on the whole can not look and deal with the world as it is, instead of being irrational and cutting their own throats and their families throats.

@BillRM,
When Rhodesia folded the Sealous Scouts had a price on their head so they were split up amongst the commonwealth. I have known several and they rage when they see what has happened to the country. There is no discernable difference between how the blacks were treated in Africa by the white pioneers and how the indians were treated in America. How would Americans feel if they were chased off their farms and made to return to europe ?

Places like Uganda also had a well developed economy but according to the UN they had to be "free"...what really happened is the class made wealthy in country by the racist colonists started to exploit the poor far worse than the whites ever did. The whites and asians were blamed for the black elite syphoning off money so they threw them out and broke the back of the economy. Talk to the poor and they have had enough of these black bastards...they want the white man back...where is the press coverage now ?

Great work at trying to hold David's feet to the fire. I suspect he doesn't really have anything to say.

It is even worst then that as many of the black tribes members who had taken part in the lands grab had moved into the area after the white settlers did due to the greater economic advantage that the white settlers produce compare to surrounding areas.

The analogy then would be being push out not only by the natives tribes of the US but also for the benefits of groups that had move into the US after Europeans settlement from Canada and Mexico.

I would go back just a very few years and prevent certain posters (who shall remain nameless) from ever getting access to A2k and posting their drivel.

That was funny, Tico. I won't even begin to try to explain what you were referencing.
