profiteers of war and labor are able to con workers with the same old lies. We
have to be literally vigilant. The most common words in the con man’s
lingo are “free” and “lucky”. As in, you are lucky to have a job but you are
free to quit if you don’t like it. Unless, of course, you’re enlisted. In which
case, you defend freedom while the lucky sit home and collect dividends. The
only reason we have enough volunteers in Afghanistan today is because there
isn’t enough opportunity in the land of the free. It’s an old

enough volunteers, they instituted conscription with exemptions for important
people. Slave owners decided slave owners were too important to fight in the war
to defend slavery. The Confederacy granted one exemption for every twenty slaves
owned. Thus, a plantation master with one hundred slaves could have an exemption
for himself, his three sons, and a nephew. It was, as workers said back then, “A
rich man’s war and a poor man’s fight.” Men who refused conscription were hung.
Their property was confiscated and friends and neighbors were warned not to help
the draft dodgers’ women and children. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

sport the rebel flag. They’ve been conned into believing that the Civil
War was about some principle other than the privileges of slave owners. Through
a revision of history, they’ve come to believe that defending slavery was a war
for freedom. In fact, the only thing free was labor. Slavery, which provided
free labor for the rich, depressed wages for all workers regardless of color.
White southern workers not only got screwed, they fought for the honor of
getting screwed, and some of them are still defending that
honor.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
