Glad you liked it, Bones. I agree that this whole process is happening earlier than the barbarians (I like Corona Circus' term the best) would prefer, but if you look at it from their point of view it's obvious that the Internet is their nemesis. It reminds me of the Sword of Shannara from a different elf simulator. We are all getting better and better at sorting through the propaganda.

For example, I learned yesterday that America was founded on White slavery. I read about these people as 'indentured servants' in high school, and if I had just taken a second to think logically it would have been obvious that the plantation owners would have every incentive to work the indentured servant to death before they could finish their term and take the owner's land. Most of them were teenagers who were kidnapped off the streets. The 300,000 Europeans were roughly comparable to the 400,000 Africans (there were 10 million slaves shipped across the Atlantic, but the vast majority went to South America and the Caribbean). Kind of gives you a different perspective on reparations for slavery, doesn't it?
