    God bless Emma Thompson, and God bless all enslaved people.

    Maybe Reverend Wright has a reason to be angry?

    I've always thought that the Congressional Black Caucus is particularly well placed to take public and moral stands against modern day slavery. I've even written to them about it. But they sit so quietly in the luxurious halls of Congress that most Americans don't even know they exist. Prehaps they are too busy trying to extort money from people who never owned slaves for modern African Americans who never were slaves.

    Write to your congressman. Tell them to take on something more important than whether or not athletes take steroids!!

    Human trafficking is not far from any of us. It's just happening in the face of all of us. Policy makers, law implementors, and law enforcement people are the very people practicing human trafficking.
    If everyone will agree, on the television and other homes, all these people have house helps who wash, cook, clean, and other errands for their own children. This is a perfect child exploitation and even worse than human trafficking. I think this is where the problem lies. Let's start solving it from there. Thank you.
