You two ought to write a historical novel that shows how it might have
happened and subvert the mistaken popular belief that slavery is some kind
of evil, by showing how benevolent slave-holding is really a good thing,
not some feudalistic holdover that denies a slave a fundamental human right
-- you could make it really pomo and show how slavery is neither good nor
evil, it's just a matter of whether or not the property owner is a nice
human being, the pragmatic approach, you know, that leaves those property
and economic relationships untouched and expects that people will be nice
to each other out of enlightened self-interest and respect for property
values.
