That's great that you're sharing your writing with a wider audience.<BR/><BR/>As a friend and mentor over the years, you've pointed out many different elements of this issue about calling people "slaves" and saying other people "owned" them. A point that left a lasting impression on me when you raised it awhile back is that if I say someone owned someone else I am agreeing that really was the relationship between them. <BR/><BR/>Because I believe the institution of slavery was illegitimate (and remains so), I don't think anyone ever did own anyone else. Now that I've thought it through, I don't say they did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
