In the name of freedom

Slavery. Hmm. Well, if people can really learn the lessons from 200 years ago, that's great. But given the number of people being treated in much the same way today, it's a moot point.
And what about those profiting today from 'cheap' labour? What about those profiting from the arms industry? Is it better to enslave a man than to kill him?
Maybe in another 200 years our successors will condemn us for tolerating warfare and mass killing in the name of freedom and democracy.
Think on.
