Plantation Myth maintained that the the slaves were happy in their work and in their private lives. Jim is obviously upset by being separated from his family when they are sold down the river without him.

Mark Twain's work, particularly "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," contradicted the plantation myth by portraying the harsh realities of slavery and racism in the American South rather than romanticizing it. Twain's characters and narratives exposed the hypocrisy and cruelty of the plantation system, challenging the idealized depiction of antebellum life often perpetuated in literature and popular culture.

Is Love is a myth?

Depends on how you look at love. In some cases it can be a myth. Like King Arthur and Guenevere. Their love was true until she met Sir Galahad and she fell in love with him. Cleopatra and Mark Anthony's love was not a myth because she gave up her life with the asp to be with him in death. Romeo and Juliet's love was not a myth. It all depends on how you look at it.

Did ObamaCare have something to do with a mark name 666?

No, this is another internet myth, spread by people who either opposed the new health care law or feared it. The number "666" in Christian myth, is related to the devil (the mark of the beast); but such a number is not in the health care law, nor is that the number of the bill that legalized health care reform. I enclose a link to the bill, so you can see it for yourself.
