How about this?

Question: Should we allow slavery because we need cotton to prevent people from having cold winters due to not having coats?

Uhm, Bill Gates is one of the masters in our society... When I own a giant corporation whose profits are based mostly on government tyranny, you can compare me to Bill Gates.

As for the child, to some extent all children are slaves, but with neglected parents, it's the same in AC land as in government land. Either people will notice and take the children away from them or people won't notice.

So... what do either of these people have to do with anything?

You left out the 3rd option of people noticing but not caring enough to take them away.

True, but I was only including the options that are equally likely, not the ones that are more likely under government than AC. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

AlexM, perhaps my example was way too far-fetched, anyway the point I want to make is that youre definiton of slavery is inadequate. The fact that you think that someone that lives on spacious house, a confortable car and a 9-5 job he enjoys is a slave just because he has to pay income tax says a lot about your worldview.

What it says about my worldview isn't terribly relevant. Stop enslaving me.

Also, few people enjoy their jobs...
