".... In what world does that pap and malarky even make any sense? I feather some slaver and cut the halfling out of his chains he's just as free as if he slit the slavers throat himself. Sounds like an excuse to be lazy and get nothing done. "
I think you misunderstood me, while what you say is true on an individual basis, I don't think it is on a larger scale. Say you've freed all the slaves, to do what? Most of them don't have the education to seek solutions to the problems they will face. One of the things that happen during slavery, is the breaking of the will and the habit of master-slave relationships. If they cannot break that circle they will just become new slaves, although perhaps with a different name. That also means that slitting the slavers throat and handing the keys to the slave to get him out his chains often isn't enough. You have to make sure they find a purpose and a way of life outside service. I think that's possible on an individual basis, but I don't really see an easy solution on the larger scale. You can phase out, as some other's proposed, but in the meantime I will not stop helping those that want out.
Mr Pleiases, there is little a slave can tell you that a paid worker cannot.
