[Disinterested]

Quote by: Boetie Tell that to the indians, I'm sure they can see how that ranks right up there with their history. Tell that to the blacks, they too will see how their whole history experienced it as well. Tell that to the women as I'm sure they can see it in their history to a point where they can say we have always been able to vote since 1776.

These so-called true patriot conservatives crack me up speaking from their fantasy version of history. Even Thomas Paine argued that the government should pay for those dispossessed in Agrarian Justice his last great pamphlet written in the winter of 1795-1796:


In advocating the case of the persons thus dispossessed, it is a right, and not a charity… [Government must] create a national fund, out of which there shall be paid to every person, when arrived at the age of twenty-one years, the sum of fifteen pounds sterling, as a compensation in part, for the loss of his or her natural inheritance, by the introduction of the system of landed property; And also, the sum of ten pounds per annum, during life, to every person now living, of the age of fifty years, and to all others as they shall arrive at that age.
