>>If you study history, you will see we lived like animals until we discovered reason in the late 17th century. Slavery, women treated like animals, endless wars, feudal lords and peasants who lived wretched lives, sweat shops, kings and queens with absolute power and cruel and mindless torturers. It has only been since we became a world of laws and not men, a world of reason, that we evolved into a more kindly and fair people.<< and the elites have been angry ever since. they laid down the WMD (weapons of mass debt) and lit the money is debt fuse and it is going to blow us right into neo-feudalism. the royalty loved them some slaves and sweat shops.
