I happen to know a tea partier, she would have nothing to do with slavery.

So what?

I've never met a Tea bagger that would admit to being racist.

You've got to make a person feel comfortable. Same with the old school union Dems up here.

The GOP goes out of its way to deny racism in its ranks, despite its obvious (and often outspoken presence). Methinks they doth protest too much.

I just found "Dr. Strangelove" on Netflix!

I haven't watched that old classic in years!

I am sure there was much violence against slaves.
Agreed. The essence of the whole slavery thing was one group dominating and subjugating another. Cruelty is how that's done. Such a task brings out the latent sadism in ordinary people, instantly.

Don't take my word for it. Watch this: http://www.netflix.com/WiMovie/Natio...trkid=13462100

Pay attention to the segments on the Stanford prison experiment. It shows ordinary college students morphing into sadistic prison guards, in no time at all. Even the guy conducting the experiment got sucked into it.

One can only conclude that people are sadistic because it's comes natural to us.

This looks interesting.

Thanks for the link Don.

It's fun to have a little flash and fluff in my entertainment - Watched The Avengers this weekend. Special effects have come a long way.

Regards,

My Piece of the Pie.

I watched this movie a couple of days back on Netflix. A very interesting French movie on corporate raiding and greed. It's billed as a social satire but I found it gripping and very realistic. Fast paced drama with very understated acting.
