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?

Jan, finding new fishy depths

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

    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.)

    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
