Slavery is fine and doesn't hurt anyone important!

Works out just fine for the people who own the slaves, and since by definition they are the ones with all the power, only they get a say in it. It was only when we started viewing everyone as an individual with value that this kind of disgusting practice could be halted. And boy, did certain people not want that to happen. Having a nice book from God which condones it did not help.

We're given the privelige of being born in a time where slavery is "obviously wrong". But I wonder what proportion of people would have just gone along with it had they been born in an earlier time. Statistically, a lot more thank people would like to think I guess! (This is a general statement about the population as a whole and not aimed at anyone in particular on this forum of course.) This is the view I take with my own morality. I try to assess everything as best I can, not just settle for what people generally think is OK. I don't want to be the guy they look back on in the future as an immoral dumbfuck who didn't know any better.
