I was disputing the concept of owning human beings, not denying the reality. Thank you for removing my formatting. :roll:

What I say has no more value than what you or others say, but thank you for finding a better person to quote to make your point (I do mean that).

Goodnight y'all


Not a problem...I looked at the words spoken rather than looking at (or knowing) who said them when trying to find a quote to fit what I wanted to say.

I had then interpreted your reply as having been "don't listen to the message because of who the messenger (source) was" followed by "Discredit the message not the messenger.", the later of which seemed to be in contradiction with the former.

Why must communication be so complicated?

For that matter, I don't countenance a presidency abetting a conspiracy theory about human trafficking instead of helping people address such real-world conspiracies.

You are sadly mistaken.
