98. OK then you think slavery should be brought back?
To show you the irrationality of your reasoning let me remind you that in the South in the mid 1800s it was legal to own slaves and in Jim Crow laws existed to keep blacks from being able to exercise rights that were so precious to the very ones denying them. However it was the will of the people so the nation was wrong to step in and correct this immorality according to your reasoning. Is that really where you want to go? Look at what else you promote, if you are accused of shoplifting and the majority of the people in the area vote that you should be punished by having your hands cut off do you think the eighth amendment should be ignored and chop off your hands? Seriously I have to ask the question have you become that cold and inhumane you can't see this?
