I read a biography of Lincoln once, and early in his life he was testing his anti-slavery beliefs by reading the best pro-slavery arguments and afterwards he wrote down "None of these people arguing about how great slavery is for the slaves seems to want to be a slave themselves."
thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning:

"As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."
