The typical "accept reality and get over it" mentality has repeatedly and consistently been used throughout history to justify plunder. One might even wonder if it ever has been used for anything else. There was a time when legal businessmen, with sincerity, claimed that a dark skin color made you deserve to be slave. "When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." ~ Frederic Bastiat
