if you collapse the slave trade industry, that could have a better effect on stopping human trafficking. but i don't know of a realistic and effective method of doing that ...I'm sure it's been said a thousand times, that in order to change the system, one must work within. Of course, I support and agree that purchasing is perpetuating to a degree -- but there is a reason for the infrastructure to exist as it is. --]]>http://www.plime.com/l/55458/1/rss2_0.rss#q12http://www.plime.com/l/55458/1/rss2_0.rss#q12plime.com <![CDATA[Moogle @ 3/24/2008 4:31:17 PM]]>« hmtksteve : So, after buying a slave how does one get it back state-side?In an airplane!

lessee..I've got about 2k in the bank right now... that would get like 40 peeps.

it's a start?I'm in for about the same amount too :) I wish I could in reality do something about things like this. It makes my heart heavy to read stories like this. I feel so impotent to do anything to change things.]]>http://www.plime.com/l/55458/1/rss2_0.rss#q6http://www.plime.com/l/55458/1/rss2_0.rss#q6plime.com <![CDATA[doggylives @ 3/24/2008 2:24:54 PM]]>http://www.plime.com/l/55458/1/rss2_0.rss#q5http://www.plime.com/l/55458/1/rss2_0.rss#q5plime.com <![CDATA[bunnysutra @ 3/24/2008 2:23:26 PM]]>

There are more slaves on the planet today than at any time in human history ...Hmm, slavery sucks but I don't think that's a fact.
