Charming, charming, charming...

I've been reading about the Haitian Revolution lately.  It's mighty depressing, as most things historical tend to be.

Here, as an example: From the Code Noir: 

We desire that if a male slave has married a free woman, their children, either male or female, shall be free as is their mother, regardless of their father's condition of slavery. And if the father is free and the mother a slave, the children shall also be slaves. . . .

Please, someone, cheer me up.

Have you seen Simon's Cat? Not a prescription for clinical depression, of course, but gave a perceptible lift to even this curmudgeon. (Via.)

(btw, I thought this was two posts -- I also don't think cute cats suffice to make up for the laws of slavery)

I love Simon's cat!

He did cheer me up, both me and the kid.

TNX!
