Out hunting them and consuming food?
I suppose that's a natural outgrowth of the theory I've always held of why cats are superior to dogs...
They have teeth AND claws... dogs just have teeth.
I'd rather deal with a single dog than a single cat in a fight ;0
And maybe that's why we domesticated dogs first, ya think?

You partially answered it.
I was asking, historically speaking, when a culture 'institutionalized' prostitution, did sex slavery drastically dwindle?
I'm all too aware of modern (american) profits in the illegal sex trade and can only imagine the profits in the illegal sex slave trafficking.

So...
To Summarize...
Your point, from the original post, was that the word "refute" was used inappropriately (by your definition of the word, as provided in the original post) and that these statements, once made, can never be refuted?

I admit, I've changed my views on Lincoln the more I research it ;0
I sincerely don't think he was ever truly racist - but in his last speech, he was absolutely not racist. I think, therefore, that he was more a product of his time rather than truly racist as we would think of it in our times.
