I may not have read backwards enough

This is the quote from Brees that gave me pause: "Yes I do believe we have dominion over the condition of our fellow creatures on the planet and that includes our fellow human creatures." I think this point to which Solon was reacting. I didn't ask for clarification from Brees at the time because I know better to get in the middle of one of Solon's debates. Gives me a headache.

By the way, dominion is usually interpreted, at least nowadays, as "stewardship", not relentless exploitation, in theological circles.

Unfortunately, that reinterpretation doesn't seem to have taken hold all that widely as yet. Lots of people are still in pillage mode and use the Bible as their authority.
