In the case presented here, no doubt sodomy had something to do with the poor companion’s misbehavior.John Kurmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607323621206823686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8581401473844438605.post-28592858267652755672017-10-10T12:29:10.538-07:002017-10-10T12:29:10.538-07:00***Fancy Girls were a real thing.

It is the chemical and pharmaceutical leader of the world, producing copious amounts of the finest intoxicants found anywhere, especially cocaine and heroin. The South, where it could, switches from cotton cultivation to poppies, and Germany buys up as much as the Confederacy can produce. The Confederacy in turn, is a voracious consumer of German drugs. Much of it used for labor enhancement and mind control of slaves – where applicable.John Kurmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607323621206823686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8581401473844438605.post-65504204947900262202017-10-10T12:24:05.729-07:002017-10-10T12:24:05.729-07:00*The problem of slavery is that there is only so m...*The problem of slavery is that there is only so much land to cultivate and labor to do, and without an expanding market (in the case of the slave powers, the opening of additional territory), the market collapses due to saturation. This is a similar problem to one the firearms industry had to overcome in the 19th – 21st centuries. Their solution was market creation and accessorizing. I propose a similar market creation through the hyper specialization of labor through breeding lines, but also expanded consumption through planned obsolescence– the Nazi’s final solution, work them to death.John Kurmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607323621206823686noreply@blogger.com
