5,131,385 slaves were brought to america after the declaration of independence was writ.

and so on and so on.

some things change, slavery goes corporate, then as now,  crime would be called commerce.

so independence in america has always meant the freedom to enslave. the corporations are the masters of us all.

i used to think only some individuals are evil, but now i recognize the culture itself is evil,  and the only individual with rights, freedom and impunity is the corporation.
