Hey Saw, I didnt bring up slavery in the first place. It was used as part of a specious argument that accused the United States of general barbarism. I was trying to show that not only is it specious, but is spouted from people who have a claim to a higher degree of civilization based on no real fabric of fact.

As to Garcia, what his opinion was couldn't have less of a bearing on the justice of the outcome. That's my opinion.
