REAL PERSON... HISTORY????
Poll SO WHAT PART OF HISTORY DO I RAPE NOW
[EDIT] OKAY I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD JUSTIFY WHY #1 IS SO AWESOME, not that I'm trying to skew your point of view or anything:
A British Official in Canton, During A Time When Millions of Pounds of Opium Were Being Traded: (upon being asked of the EIC's involvement) I never saw a chest of opium in my life; and therefore I cannot speak to it.
DUDES. DUDES. AND THERE WAS MATHESON, WRITING HOME TO JARDINE, EXPLAINING HOW ONE OF THEIR CAPTAINS BLEW UP A CHINESE SHIP AND ALMOST CAUSED A WAR before blithely talking his amazing talk and having Chinese officials QUIVER IN FEAR.
Until you know BAD ASS OFFICIAL MAN LIN comes into the picture and HOLDS ALL OF THE BRITISH TRADE FLEET HOSTAGE.
And. And do I really need to go on. I am sure I could say something intelligent about writing Thoughtful Things about Imperialism and why it's Bad To Steal Entire Nations Via Illegal Drug Trade and everything but.
