DM: "But we're STILL dependent on slavery, or something
very close to it, its just offshore and ill-paid, is
all."

See the "Colonization of time" thread in MDMD, especially 7 August 1997. As
I said then: 

"Commerce is indeed a powerful system, but a voluntary one. To forget that
is to trivialize not only the plight of real slaves, past and present, but
our own ability -- however rarely exercised -- to choose how far to buy into
it [commerce]."

There *is* a difference. It is important. It is not all the difference in
the world-- but that doesn't keep it from being important.
