23rd, 2019.

And because the bulk of the questions and objections

that have been raised had to do with the purchase of a slave

by Edwards and is possible complicity in the slave trade a trade that was in fact

manifestly wicked I want to address that here.

Biblical Absolutism

Instead of trying to find my motivations for talking about such things and manufactured charges of racism or white supremacy

ground mists swirling around the legs of that noble beast.

If it were another country and another war and up in the highlands,

I could almost hear the bagpipes in the distance.

But shoot, it's my imagination, so why not?

What is my motivation then?
