I think we need more of these displays of honesty, Fred.
In these times, such expressions of truth are so needed. For the 1st 99% of the time humans have existed, slavery was regarded as normal. I’m thankful we’ve made that mental leap. Yet still do the powerful in degrees enslave the weak.
You are right, Healey. Moreover, civilization has always been organized in at least somewhat of a hierarchical structure, notwithstanding all the statements about “equality”. Many of us are descended from serfs and peasants, if not slaves. And the lives of some people in western democracies are akin to those of serfs and peasants. Just the reality, however unfortunate it might be.
The brother speaks the truth.
