Boy, you sure like to bring in the holiday cheer....

Yes there are slaves and it's too bad. I have given to certain charities to buy slaves out of bondage. There are such organizations.

Its kinda crazy however Middle East and parts of Africa have been well known to slavery for a long time. Its just interesting to see something like that news article and then people can actually read about it and realize it is a huge part of cultures still to his day.

Man, things like that make you reconsider how lucky you really are.

Really? Can u give me names of the orgs?

Don't be silly..there is no such thing as Orcs.

By the way, doesn't Amnesty International do stuff liek that?

I can't remember the one I gave to. It was about 1 1/2 years ago, but I'm sure you could do a search. If I remembered right in the one I gave to, it was $50.00 a person that one could help.

Amnesty International probably Bebs, I used to have a standding order for them but they annoyed me with the hard sell when I was out near Embankment tube station so I put all my money into Heart Disease and Cancer.
