Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass - 0 views

  • My new mistress proved to be all she appeared when I first met her at the door,—a woman of the kindest heart and finest feelings. She had never had a slave under her control previously to myself, and prior to her marriage she had been dependent upon her own industry for a living. She was by trade a weaver; and by constant application to her business, she had been in a good degree preserved from the blighting and dehumanizing effects of slavery. I was utterly astonished at her goodness.

      Douglass' well-rounded perception of Sophia Auld, a "woman of the kindest heart," that had mostly avoided the "blighting" and "dehumanizing" effects of slavery.
  • Slavery proved as injurious to her as it did to me. When I went there, she was a pious, warm, and tender-hearted woman. There was no sorrow or suffering for which she had not a tear. She had bread for the hungry, clothes for the naked, and comfort for every mourner that came within her reach. Slavery soon proved its ability to divest her of these heavenly qualities. Under its influence, the tender heart became stone, and the lamblike disposition gave way to one of tiger-like fierceness.

      By being submissive to her husband's demands, Auld embodies the archetype of the enslaver: a person who not only robs another of humanity; a person who by being the oppressor robs herself of humanity.

Russia Green Lights $65 Billion Siberia-Alaska Rail and Tunnel to Bridge the Bering Str... - 0 views

  •  
    I used to live in Alaska, and the idea of finally creating a bridge (albeit an underground one) to Russia has been talked about for as long as I can remember. The potential this has for trade and as a source of renewable energy (wind tunnels) is amazing.
