"That really gets me dude SALVES where not paid so there were no wages."

I would LOL but the ignorance in that statement is so sad. Yes, Steve, many slaves throughout history were paid "slave wages", hence the term. Ever heard of the Roman Empire? Try reading about it a little.
This is why we're in a "never again" war, yet again. Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
It's easy to define what you're willing to fight for; but what are you willing to stand for without fighting? What are you willing to lay down your life for?
