Thanks for the insults, Mr. Mayes. Now, if I can interject a bit of
reality into your comments--One of the enduring legacies of the apologists
for the European and American empires has been to excuse countless horrors
throught the past four centuries: the Atlantic slave trade, colonialism,
and the slaughter of the indigenous peoples of the Americas to name but three.
