"the so-called insurrection in Iraq is exactly the type of self-defeating creation I mean - and one that is designed to bust out the US economical, drive the middle class into serfdom and reduce the poor to **chattle**"
roknich, you are more correct than you may know! We all can learn a lot from the dictionary!
In Webster's New International Dictonary (2nd edition) the original meaning of "chattle" was:
1.property, specifically goods or money, or **livestock**
2. a **human slave or bondsman**
The word "cattle" is from the MIddle English
**"chatel" (meaning "goods"- and the french word "caput (which means "head" as in head of cattle (see my other post above the one you wrote)
"Cattle" also means:
2b Human beings -a term of contompt
I became a vegan because like raped women and women who are forced to give birth against their will, farmed animals also bred against their will in factory farms.
The oppressons of capitlaism, and the abuse and exploitation of the poor, women, and animals are all abuses of power based on "might makes right" and the cosmic CA CA of the "divine right of kings" (also known as Social Darwinism)
Social Darwinism is now a form of "unnatural selection" that causes massive numbers of poor to be born who are used as consumer/worker/breeder/units by the rich.
The children of the rich dont starve, die on the battlefields or dir from pollution in the inner cities.
As any biologist knows, there must be ten times as many prey animals as predators. Hence, the anti choice politics and religions of the Rich!
