   re: iomyaom

   Indian tribes used to trade items for beads made of stone, bone, antlers, minerals like turquois, etc.
   .
   Celilo Falls (where the Pacific Intertie’s Terminal is, 130 miles from where I’m sitting) was a pre-columbian slave trading center. One wonders what they thought was the value of a human life.

   One wonders if they thought of the slaves as human. Oh, that’s right…they didn’t.

   Actually, it seems that only in the trade and use of black slaves by Europeans was it thought that the slave was less than human. As with the native Americans, Romans and others, Europeans using other Europeans as slaves (in the Middle Ages for instance) it was more of a weak over strong or rich over poor issue. Many Europeans thought native Americans were less than human too of course… but isn’t this a Peanuts cartoon?

    Who said anything about “black” slaves? Slaves have been bought and sold all over the world. Even Native Americans were known to take prisoners in battle between tribes and treat them as slaves. Then of course there’s the history of the Spanish in the New Word.

    Every door-to-door salesman gets a lot of doors slammed in his face. Funny, saleswomen don’t seem to have that problem. They’re told to go away infinitely more graciously.
