Writer's Block: One last question ...

I'd ask every President before Lincoln who knew slavery was wrong why they didn't abolish it.

I'd ask John Adams why he didn't listen to Abigail.

I'd then go back further, to England, to Ancient Rome, to the Ice Age, asking violators of social justice why.

Yes, times were different. They always have been. But there were those who knew, even then, what they were doing was wrong - and proceeded forth anyway.

That's an easy one. "Because it was politically, sociologically, economically, or personally useful not to."
