This is true. > Tell a deeply underpaid hand worker > in a underdeveloped country you are shutting down his factory for > humanitarian reasons, and he will beg you not to. Please don't go comparing slavery to being stuck in a shitty job. Modern slavery still exists in the same forms that it has in the past, luckily it has now been pushed to the fringes and is no longer acceptable. A talk was given on modern slavery at TED, which is available here. I recommend watching it. http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/kevin_bales_how_to_combat_modern_slavery.html > Tell a high profile > Wall Street workaholic to chill out and he will send you to hell. > > Freedom is not always an easy thing to get.
