Slavery

Slavery is an awful part of the American past. Right?

Well, the numbers suggest that slavery is at an all time high.

I was reading through Project Censored top 20 Censored Stories and I found this story about slavery being strong than ever.

27 million human beings are enslaved. You can follow the link to find out more, but this sure is an eye opener. This is the largest amount of humans that have ever been enslaved in the history of humanity.

I wonder how much of this is fueled by our need to have cheap toys from Walmart and the grocery stores?
