Little known is that English people taken into slavery outnumbers those transported to America in the "old slavery" days. Need to check that statement - but I know it surprised me so much, it stuck in my head!<br /><br />Today, nothing has changed - it's got worse as there are no checks on how well or how happy your slaves are! I would favour legalised prostitution for this reason.<br /><br />In the UK, we sit with complete satisfaction that slavery has been abolished - my foot! - it goes on here under our noses.<br /><br />If tobacco was abolished, it would move underground. I believe it grows ok here too. And we would have a "war on tobacco" that would make an excellent business employing many people and making loads of money in Government funding with our taxes.<br /><br />What offends me most about all of this, is that people who smoke are still in charge of their minds - in fact, they have sharper focus than those who don't smoke. And why have we got such a huge aging popuation now, when most of us smoked?<br /><br />Something stinks in all of this - and it isn't burning tobacco leaves!<br /><br />Thanks for your post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05682780023627710142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247617253397693394.post-9701973611267745732012-06-14T07:53:14.747-07:002012-06-14T07:53:14.747-07:00And I know that wasn't exactly what you were r...And I know that wasn't exactly what you were referring to. So to answer that no slavery never truly went away,it was just hidden better so people wouldn't be too upset by it.<br /><br />By making slavery "illegal" it has just made it more difficult to obtain a slave in some places.<br /><br />Wage slaves,sex slaves ect. still exist and their plight goes mostly unnoticed in the world today.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00647320329218827425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247617253397693394.post-62629305121822948892012-06-14T07:47:51.386-07:002012-06-14T07:47:51.386-07:00No slavery never truly went away.
