So the Senate's backing a resolution that would generate a formal federal government apology for slavery. Unanimously, even. Whee.
Forgive me if I don't get all giddy in anticipation of what would amount to little more than eye candy -- or ear candy, as it were -- should the American superstate "apologize" to today's enslaved masses for past actors who sanctioned chattel slavery.
The state's putrid physical enslavement of blacks was atrocious and unforgivable, but the difference between political slavery and chattel slavery is merely one of degree and not kind.
From bevies of taxes, fines, and fees to regulations and arbitrary diktats governing virtually every waking minute of our days, the leviathan state we live beneath today is every bit the slavemaster it was in previous centuries when its intentions were simply more apparent.
If our rulers really want to apologize for slavery, they can pass their resolution, clock out one final time, and close the doors on every one of the federal buildings in the federal cesspool known as Washington, D.C. Only then will each and every one of us truly be set free.
