Exodus 21

[Astreja]

But here's the thing... here is where it is not black or white/ Slavery is not always bad m'kay, slavery is not always bad...

I disagree absolutely.  No exceptions.  Slavery is always bad.  It is our responsibility as a civilization to work towards ending the exploitation of all sentient beings, human and non-human. It may take us a thousand years or more, but we have to keep trying to reduce others' burden of pain.
