But make no mistakes there still are slaves. ask a mother who works 18 hours aday if she is free to do as she will or the man who sold his dreams to meet the requirements to live in under the requirements of wellfare. Slavery is still alive and well, it just been compartmentalized for you to only identify it if it presents itself in a very specific way. for if you saw it as it truly presents itself, then the selfrighteous would turn this country on it's ear, and we maybe fighting a second civial war before long.
That is not slavery; that is dependency. Slavery is the act of owning another human being. So, we may all be metaphorical slaves to our desires, the government, our employers, and corporations, but that is because we are dependant on them. We are not slaves in the sense that any of these things own us. We can walk away from them at any time. Altough we may not want to, we have that option, which a slave does not.
Everything you have said is this thread is smoke and mirrors attempting to obscure this fact.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
