[PEN-L:7350] Re: Re: Liquidated damages for slavery

["Rod Hay" <rodhay@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The issue of compensated the descendants is ludicrous. Am I going to be
compensated by the British government for the clearance of the Highlands?
The list of wrong parties is endless. Compensate the living for wrongs but
dragging out every historical exploitation and compensating the descendants
is not possible or a reasonable political goal.

----Original Message Follows----
How convenient for the descendent beneficiaries of the slaveowners. Yes,
this would require an extraordinary legal step of compensating the
descendants of the slaves. This can be done by extrapolation of legal
principles and common sense.
