Folks should stop trying to apologies for what others did, often hundreds of years ago. I was not part of that. The advanced education system, the political system and the current wealth control systems around the globe, are in fact and indeed "Master-Slave" relationships; so why cleanse this notion prematurely? Master-slave has a rich history in the entire field of compuatational resources and electronics. That usage has nothing to do with social conventions and failings of the past. So, if you want to do something effective for those of us less fortunate, why not use terms like > I would like to open up the discussion on this topic for one week, and > if we cannot arrive at a lazy consensus, I will draft a proposal from > the discussion and call for a VOTE. > Here are the questions I would like us to answer: > 1.

The concept of a master has been around ever since (2) males or more graced this planet (your theories of soccial evilutoin may vary but they are irrelevant). Commander? General ? Generalisimo? Master_Chief Warlord? Why not get rid of the entire Apache evironment why you are at it? This line of reasoning is nothing but *STUPID* You cannot errase the history of the warrior existence of mankind. Nor should any today apologize for historical convention.
