The most appalling crime against humidity is that of enslaving one's
fellow man. Many have said meuch better than I. Of any nation, I would
hope the citizens of the US after its history of righting the worng of
slavery, would not turn its back on these very same wrongs.
Truman
"Slavery is one of those monsters of darkness to whom the light of
truth is
death. "
"Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet
depreciate
agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground."
--Frederick Douglass
"It is the nature of slavery to render its victims
so abject
that at last, fearing to be free, they multiply their own chains. You
can
liberate a freeman, but you cannot liberate a slave."
- Louis J. Halle
"This is a world of compensations; and he who
would be no
slave must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others
deserve
it not for themselves."
"I have
always thought that all men should be
free; but if any should be slaves, it should be first those who desire
it for
themselves, and secondly those who desire it for others. Whenever I
hear anyone
arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him
personally.
"
- Abraham Lincoln
"The right of a nation to determine its own form
of
government does not include the right to establish a slave society
(that is, to
legalize the enslavement of some men by others). There is no such thing
as
"the right to enslave." A nation can
do it, just as a man can become
a criminal- but neither can do it by right."
- Ayn Rand

Yes there are things out there, but like with Mr. Moore, things can get
twisted.
