While it is that true slavery does not exist in the "western" world of
developed nations, it used to, and it has now been merely exported to China
and India, among others. I read somewhere that there are more people in
slavery now than at any other time in recorded history, but I don't have a
reference, sorry. I hope no slaves were used to build my OM gear, or my shoes
from China.....
