This is a particularly troubling topic for me.
I am one of those who represses commentary when the subject of slavery comes up in social circles... it is most often coming up in reference to local, current social-sensitivities about race, and a fixation on "how people were hurt by slavery" in the past...
But I am dismayed and frankly, disappointed, by the general refusal to acknowledge that there are more slaves now than there have ever been in the past... how half of them are sexual-service slaves... and most of them are technically children. (And also how most of them are part of a black market deeply ensconced within enlightened societies.)
This is a very sad topic...
Most of the anger I see comes from those entrenched in fighting other 'social ills'... and many are angry at the 'distraction' from what other 'thing' they have chosen as "important."
The reason it is not a focus of our media is not a mystery if you think about the cabal 'membership' of the media in general.
