Editorial: Quoting Washington Doesn't Mean I Believe in Slavery

Quote Washington

"My first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from the earth."

Can you imagine a world, a planet, without the destructive forces of war? A world where children can all go to sleep, not afraid that in this moment, a bomb will come roaring in to take away a limb, a life, a mother, a father. 

I can stand behind this quote. It is something that I would be happy to share and see others sharing as well. 

I would, of course, attribute the quote to George Washington, letting everyone know that these were his words. I think it is important to let people know these words were not mine, although I might have said it myself, actually, at some point in time, or at least something quite similar.

Now, let me make it clear, though, I don't believe in slavery.

You might be wondering why I felt it necessary to say that just now. 

Necessary because that is where it went so wrong before.
