i really like this because it happened everywhere. When slavery was abolished in the U.S, they were still slaves. African- Americans didn't even legally have rights until 1963. But unfortunately just because a law was passed or abolished things took forever to change, things are still changing, actually. Lynchings, inequality, and false imprisonments are still relatively common

slavery you are denied liberty but taken care of
poverty you are not taken care of but have liberties albeit those you can afford to pursue
hence the danger of captalism

At least slaves were seen as "investments" by thier "employers" and hence given food, water, shelter, clothing, etc. while a wage work is seen as a tool to be thrown away and easily replaced that isn't given enough pay for such basics. While I would not wish more traditional slavery to return dern slavery isn't much better.

I'm curious; have you seen the film "Waltz With Bashir" and, if so, what did you think of it?

It focuses more on the plight of soldiers than those massacred, but given that armies are largely made confused youths who didn't understand the reality of war, I thought that was fair.

I agree with a lot of your work but sometimes it seems to focus too much on the obviously oppressed, even though the people being paid to kill and torture now will probably suffer for it for the rest of their lives (clearly worse for those they attack, but my point is that war's horrible for all directly involved in the violence).

I personally think that one of the saddest things about war is that those killing each other probably could have met under different circumstances and been friends, as demonstrated by the 1915 football game in No-Man's-Land.
