re: #224 Bubblehead II

So do I. But it is a fact. Women, men and yes, even children are bought and sold on a daily basis in this (and many other) countries. It isn’t that hard to find. Just Google it. There are way too many stories out there to deny it. People just don’t want to acknowledge that it happens because those that it’s happening to are also the most vulnerable.

Heinlein did a story about this. Some rich guy got drunk, got shanghaied and ended up on Venus where he led a slave rebellion that succeeded because he happened to know how to build A.M. transmitters and receivers that had been forgotten by modern technologies and could therefore be used without fear of inception.

Can’t remember the title of the book though.
