# i admit i have done one 9/11 "joke"
the others i haven't but the jokes in the execution IE. it is meant to be funny and original and the fact he put a link right to an educational website describing slavery is a) like explaining a joke and b)taking it a tad too far....and its been done before

The standard argument is that it would have ended sooner if England had
retained control. However, there are some who point out that the laws of
the day had many other forms of servitude in use that were near slavery.
Fire fryingpan scenario might have been in play just as easily.
