There are more of these people than you might think. Yeah, they’re serious. There was a short book published on Amazon a few years ago called “Southern Slavery as it was’ which claims to be the real history of slavery – how Christian and caring it was, how black people were happier then than now.

Water Helps Your Brain

Drinking water is the easiest thing you can do for your brain, but most people don’t drink anywhere near enough.
Fact: About 80% of the brain is comprised of water.

If you don’t drink enough—or if you drink a lot of dehydrating liquids, such as coffee or alcohol—you’re going to struggle to think clearly and you may have memory problems. That’s because dehydration increases stress hormones, and stress hormones interfere with cognitive abilities.

Recommended:
Drink half your weight in water ounces every day. Example: If you weigh 150 pounds, you’ll want to drink 75 ounces of water a day. Drink more during the warm months or if you exercise regularly and lose water in perspiration.

It amazes me that there are still so many people who are ignorant of basic premise that all men are created equal. I think that pretty much says it all. Articles like this truly sadden and offend me at my core.

Slavery is still legal in the US… but only the government can do it. The text of the 13th amendment clearly states this:

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation

Read Section 1 again, slower,…. that’s right, slavery is legal if you are convicted of a crime.

What crime is left unspecified. And slavery can’t be cruel and unusual since it is explicitly permitted here.

This seems a bit scary to me. And inexplicably unexploited. I’d have thought that the progressives would have latched onto this as a way to exploit the productive.

Politically it seems unlikely, but with enough fervor about a given crime, passions could overcome sense and we could have slavery again. But hey… I’ll give it a try for a very unpopular crime, just to show how easy it could be if we went down this path…

13th Amendment slavery could be useful as a way to get around the “rights” of sexual predators. Balancing those rights too often reintroduces them into society where they just shouldn’t be. As slaves we could put them where-ever.

There, I just justified slavery. It’s almost too easy!

And apparently, available.
