The millions of Africans brought to this country, as well as the Caribbean, as property weren’t overly thrilled by the Dutch and British either. Not to mention those two countries’ adventures in African colonialism, itself.”
Do you agree that, eventually, as the means of communication and warfare and travel increase, and two peoples that were previously isolated from each other are no longer isolated, that it is inevitable that one will dominate the other?
And if you agree with that, then surely you agree that if the Europeans had not arrived in Africa, eventually the Africans would have arrived in Europe?
If anyone takes serious umbrage with jackal’s post about it being a good thing we did in the indians with smallpox and gunfire before they conquered Europe, I’m out of here. Everyone, step away from the provocation. Just step away. Leave it alone. No good comes of picking it up.
I missed the debate to go to an industry gathering/presentation. I should have watched the debate. Regarding Chavez, I have watched him from the perspective of his management of PDVSA, the state oil of Venezuela, which has been an unmitigated disaster.

Which begs the question: which is better?

Homeownership should not be a goal for some people because it is not the best use of their resources.
True. More importantly, I wouldn’t have a tenant.
Nice to know the rent boys are sober.
