Modern day slavery is the
second largest criminal industry
in the world.
I was reading an article today about sex trafficking in the US and although I have heard about it before, it blew me away. I find it amazing that as a society we allow this and so many other things to happen around us and do nothing to change it. Here is a link for more info http://www.polarisproject.org
Carlos posted the other day about how the government has set aside $1.5 billion in coupons for people to get converter boxes for their tv's next year when everything goes digital. Does it amaze anyone else that people are staving and dying and being enslaved all over the world and our government is more concerned about the American public being able to watch television cheaply. Our country is currently in a health care crisis with hundreds of thousands of people who can not afford insurance and therefore can not receive proper medical care if needed, but God forbid my TV doesn't work right.

how you spend your time and money is a great way to find out what is important to you. i guess government chooses tv over people. cool.
