Nice post Marc, Great letter and right to the point. Interesting indeed. Especially in light of how things are panning out with the modern slavery of our current times. Although slaves in the far east are being chosen over slaves here. Of course that's not really true - depends how you look at it though - We are all free in reality... aren't we? The law is for all... government are servants of the people... errr
