If this were 1806, George W. Bush would be slave owner.

[Jara sang]

Definitely, not a doubt in my mind that he would own slaves if it were legal.

[MuseRider]

1. No doubt

and he would not be a kind master either. He is still working on it, we will all be his slaves if we are not successful.

[Metta]

2. Uh, he is.

And we're it.

[marmar]

4. Agreed...

Americans are in slavery right now, whatever you choose to call it.

[GreenArrow]

5. it is indeed,

an "ownership society".

[Metta]

6. Yeah and we're on our own.

:hi: :donut:

3. Own them? Hell, he'd be a major slave trader

with his own fleet of slave ships. But, somehow he'd manage to screw up that seller's market just like everything else he's ever touched--probably "accidently" allow them to drown or starve to death (along the lines of the Katrina business model). SG
:sarcasm:

7. He'd also be wind bugling,

about what a devote christian he is and how god wants us to take care of the negroes through the blessed institution of slavery. I wish when Falwell and the southern christian right first showed up, we would have retrieved from the memory hole all the "christians" praising slavery. Religion and a corrupt Supreme court was what gave slavery legitimacy back then. Same as what gives legitamacy to this oligarchy.

8. And if GW Bush came out of a less-privileged womb, he'd be

wearing a paper hat and making onion rings. Funny thing, inherited wealth.

[sasquatch]

9. Yeah, and he couldn't be able to raise cotton in Alabama too
