"Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally." -- Abraham Lincoln (b. 1809-02-12, d. 1865-04-15)
[I had scheduled this quotation in advance for
Juneteenth. In light of recent events
evil fuckheadedness in South Carolina, this
quotation seem inadequate, but at the time I am editing
this note, there's not enough time to find one that addresses
the ongoing poison of racism in our culture that needs
to be rooted out.]
