I understand you but I doubt you understand my point.

Let's paint the alternative. A thousand men rob, rape, murder and molest our innocent neighbors. We feed, cloth, educate, entertain, and house these men until such a time as you authorize us to send them back to perpetrate these same crimes against another 1000 of our innocent neighbors. You just did. That is our current reality and you just voted not to change it.

You choose this instead of the alternative I presented that was to force them to serve the state for the rest of their lives.

I used the word slavery when I could have used many other much more palatable terms because I wanted to stir something up. It is an alarm word. What we should be alarmed about is reality. If you didn't have the horrible tapes playing in your head that portray slavery as a historical injustice perpetrated against innocent people; I bet you could have digested the notion. Shocked? If not I can keep trying.
