Slavery for fish

Apparently there are hundreds of kidnapped men working as slaves in Indonesia - fishing. The AP blew the secret and they are returning home now.

Slavery. Still. Don't you think that our species would have a clue yet?

no. our own government tells any baby born today in the US, they do not have a right to their own life. Our species still is clueless. hey-can you go over to my survey post and tell us how you first found out about Rand? I want to know. k

    This would not make a good impression on aliens surveying our planet. The absence of our ability to engender a world where everyone is fed is one thing...our failure to exclude slavery is quite another.
    
    You are right Abaco: sad. sadsadsad.

  Sure. I thought from the lead in that it was just for folks who had found out about Rand via the movies. (It was interesting reading, however; I did note that the replies did not precisely match what I thought your parameters were, but I decided not to spam.)

      At your request khalling,
      My story now is writ,
      I hope the tale is fit
      And not proclaimed appalling.
