54. Can you provide an example of this ever happening in history?
Do you seriously think that the southern United States "became enlightened" and that's why African Americans are not slaves and have civil rights today? I've lived in the south for thirty years and I'm here to tell you that if some of these white folks down here didn't have to obey laws "at the point of a sword," if you will, they'd act like it was 1845.

Did the world stop Hitler by encouraging him to "open up and listen to reason?"

Are you on drugs? Can I have some? You live in a happy little fantasy world.
