Entry: Bloody kansas Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/bloody_kansas#8144 Post contents: 1. re: Wheeler on slavery: I recall the Book of Proverbs saying something like "nothing is more deadly than a proverb in the mouth of a fool". I respectfully move, Mr. Speaker, to strike "fool" and replace with "ignoramus" and to insert after "proverb" "and a Bible verse" -- a verse utterly divorced from context, ignorant of the Hebrew and Greek word for "slave", ignorant of the cultural context of the 2nd Millennium B.C. or the AD first centuries, importing the 19th Century Gringo practice of slavery back into ancient times, etc. etc. 2. Jack gets it right. Welcome, Jack! Sent at: 2008 07 06
