But according to some people who pretend to be knowledgeable in history, slavery was never an issue in the United States.

This quote must have been a product of your imagination, ADG.

I'm particulary attached to the Goldman quote in my sig.

I was watching a documentary a while ago about a bunch of strippers trying to unionize, and the parting scene said:

-Emma Goldman

It comes from being a cynic- or a failed romantic, if you like.

As a man is, so he sees."

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Aaah.

Wondered when someone would quote Edward FitzGerald.

Here's another, though I must say his joy clashes with my severity.

Come fill the Cup and in the fire of Spring,
Your winter garment of Repentance fling
The Bird of Time has but a little way
To flutter and the Bird is on the Wing.
