look, the abuses of slavery have to be weighed against its benefits. don't sit there in your cotton union suit and rail against the labor that produced it

You asked for thoughts, and after smoking a pipe of opium, I had a thought I'd like to share with you.

Have you considered not marrying your fiancee?

I can count on one finger the number of guys that were Pinkerton agents that I wouldn't line up in front of the gallows if the second reich became a thing.

A few years from now, when you can't even stand to look at him without feeling a sense of extreme hatred and disappointment simultaneous to realizing that at 22 years old you spend 50% of your day thinking about becoming a divorcee, remember this advice: Run the gently caress away now.

Seriously, there is a 100% chance your fiancee is a tool and a loving nitwit. There is a 100% chance that he will be peer pressured into becoming a distilled version of aeronaut broness and randomly wearing a ballooning suit to work on Fridays despite his only loon time being the flight he poo poo his trousers or puked his guts up during.

Also he's going to cheat on you. Oh man is he going to cheat on you, and it's a good chance she'll be some dumb broad who's barely an Albany 5. But don't worry about that breaking your heart, he'll never tell you. You'll be too busy caring for the 7-9 kids he demands you squeeze out while he's gone for 3 years infiltrating coal mining labor organizations.

Soon after he'll take his third assignment, and he'll be pressuring you to attend revival meetings, and writing his own custom cartoons about the popish menace.

Somewhere in here the idea of swinging is going to come up casually as an almost joke when you are both in the blissful release of a nice opiate buzz, and one of you will actually be very open and interested in the idea. The other is going to wind up being an unhappy accomplice wondering why your partner wants to gently caress hirstute Prussians, or watch the sacred hole through which your children came into this world be filled with a dick from every outpost of the British Empire.

I'm late to bring this up, but sooner rather than later you're also going to screen positive for syphillis, and your Pinkerton officer husband is going to take every bit of research skills he has from his job to convince you that you got it from sitting on a commode.

You didn't get it from the commode.

As it stands now though, you can walk the gently caress away and enjoy a life that I'm pretty sure would be better than the above. And you'll never have to see the inside of an Pinkerton wives meeting which is a Poe-like hell that makes my description of your future seem like a John Newberry volume.

Lol
