Dixon has a temper. He's also frustrated (it's been said that he

we using Jimmy Carter's "lust in the heart" definition or we're talking
about his visit to the Dutch club, but he doesn't  (not on camera) have
sex there. If he did engage in the slavery within slavery there, I'd
like to read the pages or passages in M&D that support this. Also, the

can give false consecration to great crimes. Slaves were imported to
Pennsylvania by Quakers and sold like cattle in the streets of
Philadelphia and for a long time no one did anything to stop it because
most people didn't think it was a sin and a crime. Slavery is not
something that began in America, it is as old as man. When George Fox,
founder of the Quakers came to America he saw slaves and he did not
condemn it, but only advised the Quakers to Christianize their slaves
and treat them as best they could as Christians and free them within a
years time. 
In 1727 the  Quakers called for an end to slavery in the Society. It
took a while, but they did it and their "Work" was to rid the planet of
slavery and to reform the prison system and.....
