Let's take the Moses idea here, like, let the people go, you know?

You know, you read Aristotle, and he says, well, some people are born to sleep.

You just want to slap them.

And it's like, Aristotle, stop that, you know?

Aristotle means like different things.

But people should not own other people.

And I just think that, you know, of course it's true that, you know, it actually is true.

I mean, I live in the South and people come up to me and they say, well, you know, slavery wasn't so bad.

And I think, okay, but can we begin with no?

Like don't hold people's slaves.

And I think we could put that on our masthead maybe.

But other than that, it is true that it was, you know...

I won't say it was better here.

It's just an evil.

But it is true that we didn't start it.

We bought people who had already been enslaved.

And if you read, I think at one point, Matt, I sent you the memoir of Mungo, the guy who made it into...

I believe it was in Nigeria, the explorer.

And he just described a world of slavery when he got to Africa.

I mean, he had some, I can't even, I can't remember the number, but he said like something like 40% of the people were slaves.
