I thought it was okay to kill slaves. Did we change that rule?

The Bible says it's only cool if they languish for a few days after the beating.You can't kill them in front of the other slaves.

Now we just maim them.

I guess you didn't notice the article saying they die...

Sorry, yes, I didn't mean to pretend that death wasn't part of it. I'm just broken by all this and sometimes all you can do is crack a dark and terrible joke in the face of the fucking evil farcical nature of it all. Cheers.

I understand.

Laugh to keep from crying.
