Dear Alasdair,
        I'm sure your competance in matters concerning slavery is in
inverse proportion to your competance in matters of understanding rights
granted under the U. S. Constitution as well as directly proportional to
your repeated attempts at being protected by others in your foot stomping
tantrums over anyone with the audacity to question archaeological ethics.
