4/210,
I think we've had a similar discussion before.
On the historical side, I think people have been treated as chattle whenever someone could get away with it. It's not a modern malady as the history of warfare or fuedalism shows.
On the liguistic side, you see language as constraining the possibilities of what we think. I see language as providing for the maximum possible ways of thinking.
