arkay- OT-

Truth said it better, but I'd like to add my two cents. Your claim that the Brits spawned slavery throughout much of the planet would be laughable if one didn't realize you thought you had something worth listening to. Slavery was invented long before the Act of Union, the Magna Carta, or the Invasion of Normandy, so the British hardly spawned anything with regard to slavery (ever hear of a book called Exodus?). Slavery has been countenanced by many societies throughout history. As a matter of fact, I think the Brits were the first modern government- perhaps the first ever- to effectively outlaw slavery, which I believe they did around 1820. (With that legacy in mind, I sometimes wish George Washington et. al. had been obliged to high-tail it to Mexico!).

I see that intellectual precision is not exactly your long strong suit. Babbling idiocies appears more up your alley.
