Yes, but in those situations, it's easier to argue he was put at risk because of his choices, whereas being forced to do labor you are not capable of could easily result in injuries that are harder to justify. Rika_Furude posted... the government isnt a business. corruption is another argument altogether and shouldnt be a factor here. Yes, that's fine, but realistically, it's not going to work that way and you can create a government based on what is going to help the most citizens, or you can create a government that is going to function ideally in a vacuum. Again, though, what it all boils down to is that slavery or indentured servitude are immoral and I simply don't agree with any system that utilizes them. <cite>Dash_Harber posted [p:899632729] in is it true...
