“Of course it (slavery) still exists...on an individual level of evil, but that's not what we're talking about.”

According to Anti-Slavery International, it is a bit more than just an individual level problem. That organization estimates there are 40.3 million slaves in the world today.

But you are right, in part. Slavery today is not the bad kind like that written into the US constitution by the slave states of New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Maryland and the rest.

Today, according to Anti-Slavery International, slavery involves forced work, control by mental or physical abuse or threat of harm, dehumanized treatment, and restrictions on freedom of movement.

Slavery today is not the bad kind ...

ALL slavery is the 'bad kind'... my point was that slavery is against the law ... everywhere.
