I said, "Not to mention that we learned the art of slavery from the masters too." Teribus, if you don't catch the implications there, it's OK; I realize that some great intellects don't pick up nuances. But perhaps it would be helpful if I parsed it out for you: "We", by that I mean the American colonists who were, by and large, English, "learned", by which I mean that we were present and participated in; "the art of slavery", an unprincipled but lucrative and convenient activity; "from the masters", meaning the government to which most of us belonged; "too", meaning in addition to other things.

You are a silly, i.e. pompous, man. But that is OK. OK?
