The question here is not one of moral compass or civil right, but one of individual rights compared to state authority. This is a story of the state taking rights away from individual citizens, and creating a monopoly on slavery through it’s system of laws, as stated in section 2: Look, the politicians, courts, attorneys, lawyers, judges, and anyone else involved in this legalized human trafficking and slavery are not acting in the best interest of the people. They are simply compartmentalized cronies each contributing to a shameful slave and private prison business. “Cong ress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.“ And the court system is set up to ensure a constant influx of new slaves… It doesn’t matter what your personal opinion on the slavery issue is, it only matters that you understand that the state is now the slave owner instead of the individual citizen. What is even more disheartening is the fact that the majority of people subjected to this legalized slavery are not guilty of breaking the law, meaning they have done harm to others or their property. No, these state inducted slaves were guilty of “victimless crimes”, meaning that no one or their property was hurt. This means that the state is the “victim”. This means that a code, limit, statute, or other nonsensical legality (not law) was broken. This means that the government has set up a system in which it imprisons and enslaves good and innocent people for breaking its own outrageous rules. This means that for running a red light, you could become a slave too. This means that for holding up a sign in protest, you could become an involuntary servant to the government. Now, let’s examine the prison state that is America… The United States population accounts for approximately 5% of the world’s population. Yet, the United States holds 25% of the worlds prisoners in its prisons. That makes the good old U.S.A the #1 prison nation in the world! But, you see, that also makes the U.S.A. the #1 legal slave owner in the world… Do you remember when then Vice President Dick Cheney was indited along with Alberto Gonzalez for conflicts of interest in investing 85 million in private prisons? I guess you can’t indict a slave trader if he is operating within the permissions and full support of the United States government: http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQEMPdIxZcY Another great video from 2008 about the private prison business… PBS special report: Prisons For Profit : http://www.pbs.org/now/shows/419/video.html Private prisons do pay their prisoners (slaves) for their work, to the tune of .30 – .60 cents per hour. This is a loophole to make the private prison business the cheapest labor in America. Now, to put this all into perspective, I would refer you to a previous post about the legalization of drugs, specifically marijuana.
