Fair enough. Just because I haven't seen that statistic doesn't make it not so. I don't have an answer though.

4) With regard to your last in my quote! I also asked for individual opinions, stated in my last - original post.

I tend to not have opinions where I don't have facts. My personal feeling? I hate the idea of any human being held in bondage by another. My great-grandfather fought for the South during the Civil War, and his father owned slaves. It's not something I'm proud of, but it's something I accept, since it's all history now.
