Quoting Aristotle's POLITICS:

But is there any one thus intended by nature to be a slave, and for whom such a condition is expedient and right, or rather is not all slavery a violation of nature?

There is no difficulty in answering this question, on grounds both of reason and of fact. For that some should rule and others be ruled is a thing not only necessary, but expedient; from the hour of their birth, some are marked out for subjection, others for rule.

Fuck Aristotle.

Antiquarianism is worse than useless for dealing with the challenges of the 21st century. *********************************************************************** Wobbly Times http://wobblytimes.blogspot.com/
