I have highlighted the word in the definition of "slave" that I find most bothersome. To reduce another human being, even a criminal, to the status of "property" is a heinous crime in itself. This is my opinion, if you disagree with it, then are values are far enough apart that I would agree that we are truly at an impasse.
