Slavery is a pretty harsh term. Our leaders did not sell us in servitude, as what happened with the Africans. You do not here that fact, there are those who wish to believe we just strolled onto another continent and against the will of millions of Africans took the slaves, not so they were sold out by their own kind. As far as the rest, if you do not put forth your best effort you will never achieve the best results. Are you a second or third welfare recipient by any chance? OWS is an ok movement. I would rather face a dirty, stinky ,pot head than a lunatic right winger with a side arm. No pepper spray for them.
The stoners pose a bigger threat because their cause can actually spread and succeed.
