You are so much better than I at embraci...Ms. Maud<br /><br />You are so much better than I at embracing that old dictum: Audi alterem partem "Hear the other side." Where I see only outrage, you see there are two sides to every argument. Either you went to law school or you simply got the essence of a liberal arts education at your college, which somehow, hard as they tried to instill in my, my undergraduate faculty failed.<br />Where I grew up, the idea of the slaves were happier being slaves was unabashedly put forward by people I knew, who were in all other respects, ostensibly rational human beings, who did not froth at the mouth.<br />As for the homeless, watch The Phantom Speaks. There is a new series on NHPR about the homeless in New Hampshire and the mayor of Manchester says, "There are people who simply want to be homeless and nothing you try to do for them will change that." Of course, he didn't stop there. He added, "And they like to defecate urinate in public." But, then they interviewed a homeless guy (one guy) who said, "Yeah, I don't like living indoors. I like it out here." <br />Will be interested to hear your take on the homeless. <br /><br />Mad Dogthe phantom speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01629183077961716582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859118341865282720.post-74251756742960594842016-08-02T12:12:59.549-04:002016-08-02T12:12:59.549-04:00Oh come now Mad Dog-leave Mr. O'Reilly alone-h...Oh come now Mad Dog-leave Mr. O'Reilly alone-he was merely following the motto of Fox News to be "Fair and Balanced"-with the subject of slavery being no exception. All we've ever heard were the negatives regarding owning other human beings, should Mr. O'Reilly be faulted for pointing out one of the bright sides..pros and cons, that's the ticket..The slaves building the White House received food and "decent" lodging provided by the government-if you were a slave this was a pretty good gig and you'd think there'd be some appreciation. Michelle Obama is either unaware or ungrateful for the benefits received by the builders of her current residence-go figure..<br /><br />In any case, since Mr O'Reilly and others on the Right seem to look so favorably on this government handout to an otherwise, shall we say, under served segment of the population, I'm rather surprised the GOP didn't think to add slavery to their current platform as a possible solution for the homeless..<br />Maudmaudnoreply@blogger.com
