How about slavery in China in prison labor and otherwise?
Can you ask him about current US slavery?
From the number of comments, what a non-sexy topic for most listeners? Ironically when half of the slaves in the world are sex slaves, I believe the guest said. I guess that is why slavery exists, because those lucky enough not to be slaves, like those who are lucky enough not to be homeless, cannot even fathom what it would be like, and just don't want to know about it.
