And here is my response to b_b's statement:
My favorite response here was lil's, as it is as inspiring and lovely as lil is. But on reflection I thought it was another instance of label-switching and did not have much explanatory power. "Why is slavery bad? Because we long for non-slavery." I know why I love freedom, but I don't want to make any assumptions about lil's position. I like _refugee_'s approach too. It depends on the idea of theft, but I feel that theft is so obviously and universally wrong it is not necessary to make the case further. Similarly, b_b and I (and thenewgreen) seem to agree that coercion is wrong. I feel we are on the verge of agreeing that labor relationships in which coercion is applied are objectionable, and those in which the terms, including any monetary compensation, are arrived at voluntarily, are not objectionable.Your description was so clear and aligned with my perspective that I could not have stated it better myself. Thank you for expressing it so eloquently.
