Regarding slavery

After watching the cringe inducing(at least for me) video on slavery that was posted a while back, I figure this story deserves some light. Found at projectcensored.org there is a short piece that explains the current situation with regards to forced labor. It's a sad situation that humans can still be bought and sold like any other commodity. That the slave trade can create revenues of somewhere between $9.5 billion and $32 billion is absolutely astounding. The clever way that debt slave's are created draws uncomfortable parallels to our own credit industry. I don't say that to diminish the actual abuse of real debt slaves, but when adults spend a significant portion of their lives paying off school, home, car and whatever else loans, it seems only a few steps away from forced labor, especially when the interest rates are absurdly high. In reluctant agreement with the video mentioned before, I do wish more attention was paid to current modern day slaves, and less focus and energy wasted on the former slaves of our country. With more slaves in bondage today, 27 million, than at any other time in human history, it's time to end this cruelty once and for all.
