Natural Born Whiners

The other day while surfin the online news, I came across a small news article on some thing Aristotle wrote a long, long time ago. It's very interesting, and not surprizing that people still approve and promote slavery. So a guy in Leeds dusted off some old forgotten text,then got it into the news.

Aristotle argued that the majority of human beings could and should be enslaved because they are naturally slaves.

Now I dont know when Aristotle said or wrote this, but I do know (thru books,movies and the net) that Aristotle was Alexander the Great's tutor. In empire building of the past the need for slaves was paramount, and what a better way to rationalize the use of slaves with such ideas as

Northern Europeans are natural slaves because the climate is too cold.
Asiatics and Africans are natural slaves because the climate is too hot.

Training the youngling for his future as king of Macedonia, this kind of logic would help when ruling a kingdom that would span the entire known world to the greeks. I think Aristotle is a smart guy, but some of his ideas are out-of-date.

Natural born killers is more like it,
or maybe just natural born whiners or a bit of both......
