These Liberating Truths

I'm musing with Jill Lepore, historian (Harvard feminist, but definitely within brackets of general interest), through eight hundred pages of These Truths telling an other U.S. herstory. She starkly says, "Slavery is political" while I had been thinking more of addictive economic and punitive domestic relationships, enslaving social absence of healthy relationships, Dr. Lepore reminds me about powerful natural/spiritual inter-relationships, where overpowering addictions meet underpowering enslavement. Nationalistically political community-toxic apartheid, personally oppressive-repressive ego-supremacist pathological for both LeftBrain long-term smart investors and RightBrain universal-frame cooperatively sentient property(ies) development.
