Of course I think slavery is wrong, along with killing, rape, animal cruelty, and many other things. But I own these things as my value judgement. They aren't inherently wrong, because it's a meaningless phrase. Actions don't have "wrong points" floating around them. I can't measure them objectively like I can the mass of an object. I can only compare them to what I want to happen, and don't want to happen.

Things move from one state to another. Whether that state is better or worse is entirely a matter of opinion and perspective.

We generally agree on things, as a result of evolution. That's convenient, but it's not proof of anything.
