Slavery is far from abolished. Modern Slavery, IMO is today's Corporations, they are our Masters. Sure you can change Masters but you are still a slave to the system. Someone will own you. Only in free countries can you become a Master. Think of how Communism and Socialism works. Modern Slavery. Today's Slaves sell themselves in search of a new Master (Corp./Job). I know this sounds far fetched and no I am not drinking Have you not witnessed that most who are on salary pay instead of hourly are available 24/7 for their Master?. We have allowed the Corporations to own us, we have become slaves and most of us don't even know it.
