[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by edblysard</i> <br /><br />Which raises the question, <br />Do all the Chinese labors who worked for Central Pacific, as if they were indenture servants, and all the Irish who built UP have a lawsuit based on the conditions and lack of saftey concerns? <br />I am the descendent of a German Jew, arnt I owed somthing for the mass murdering of WWII? <br />Of course not. <br />No more than the descendents of the slaves mentioned in this lawsuit are owed anything. <br />At the time, slavery was legal. <br />Yes, the laws have changed, thank God. <br />I have a shipping reciept for a slave, dated before the Civil War. <br />(long story on how I came to have this) <br />It is quite sobering to hold a reciept for another human being in your hand. <br />A 12 year old girl, and someone sold her, as if she was a piece of merchendise! <br />But, again, that crap was legal. <br />You cant go back and retro fit laws. <br />If that were the case, every person who can trace their bloodline back to the pilgims should be able to sue the Nation of Great Brittan for religious persecution. <br />Ed <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Why can't we have more common sense people like Ed running this country instead of the power hungry, money hungry idiots who currently do? <br /> <br />
