You probably didn't get the memo. 38/59 tomahawks failed to reach target, a year later out of the 103 (new and improved ones) 92% of the ones sent against military targets were destroyed. It was in that first one the Donald was having cake with the leader from China. I don't think the Donald caught on when he said Trump had a little rocket.

It was all sent to youtube, perhaps they deleted it.

Oh, slavery kept Rome going. It was central to everything that they did.




Actually if you research reasons for the fall of Rome, slavery is one of the major causes. Slavery weakened the empire in several ways. first by robbing the empire of the small landowners who had provided the backbone of the Roman army. Second by creating a huge mass of unemployed urban dwellers who had to be kept fed and entertained at public expense. And third by setting up the problem of continued slave revolts.

Well, my ancestors were enslaved by the Romans for four hundred years and, almost two millennia later, I can happily say that in the long run, we're all better off without them.
