    That's a rather biased opinion is it not?

    Besides isn't it true that "Free" though they were the North didn't really want them and therefore the creation of ghettos was rife and as a result a lot of the "free" slaves were actually in a worse of position. Let's remember not every slave was whipped and hung. Most were well looked after. Lets be honest a weak underfed slave was no good to anyone.

    1. Would the American people ever willingly give up their constitution?

    2. If it meant world peace and would save it's troubled economy would they ever adopt another form of government without a fight?

    Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, Cary Elwes, and some no-names that did a hell of a job.

    If you could pick anyone for President (except yourself) in 2012, who would it be?

    Condoleeza Rice. Because she is a piss poor politician by choice, and a generally awesome and intelligent human being by nature.
