    Ok, point to where I said it was not about slavery I will wait sir.

    That is the norths perspective as written by contemporaries like uhh Lincoln who I quoted. Cool, it doesn’t make sense.

      Idiot on Facebook: “The sun goes around the Earth!”

      You: “Well he’s not entirely wrong, because bodies orbit the centroid between blah blah blah–”

      One hundred people of varying politeness: “That’s not what he meant and you fucking know it.”

      You: “Well here’s a really smart guy talking about centroids–”

      Ten exasperated follow-ons: “That’s not what he meant, and you fucking know it.”

      You: “Point to where I agreed with anything he said.”

      A few diehard troll-hunters: “Where you said ‘he’s not entirely wrong.’”

      You: “… yeah but what do words really mean, anyway?”

      Stop talking.
