It's time the British Government repealed the 1807 Slave Trade Abolition Act.

Seminoles never had wigwams or totem poles they lived in Chickees and actually did aquire a taste for manatee since the are warmblooded mammal taste a lot like cow from what I hear. The word "Seminole" is in fact a creek word for runaway and thier tribes were comprised of a high number of runaway slaves from the South. (http://www.urbandictionary.com...) Definition # 3 Your point of stating that the slave captures be licensed businesses suggests that it would not be a government capture squad but somehow a profitable business which i would suspect would lead to all sorts of shiftiness and manipulation of who could be captured. Possibly someone is just walking down the street and much like a dog catcher gets netted. Perhaps this guy is just some old hippie that came over from Amsterdam for some fish and chips and to take a walk down Abbey Road and recreate a Beatles moment, then BAM netted up like a fish. A little bit of legal wrangling later and a lost passport and docs and guess what - vagrant! As absurd as it may seem this is not entirely too far from the truth. South America has a problem with girls being traded into the sex slave trade and transported far from home with no docs and could not even leave because they were in unfamiliar territory. I am not saying that the homeless are not a problem and it is true that in this "tropical savana" as he calls it (which was described by Andrew Jackson's soldier as "absolute hell" and that if the Seminoles wanted let them have it_ it may fair better than say the winters of London, I doubt he has ever been to the Glades in August or seen what Hurricane force winds can do especially while living through them, however when you open the door for corporations who exist to continue to exist and do so through profit, to not expect a serious problem arrise when you start running low on supply and need to fill demand. Since I am unfamiliar with laws elsewhere i can only speak from personal experience here that we DO have children and moms as well as dads on the streets and many of those still coherent. According to World Socialist Web (http://www.wsws.org... ) there are some 380,000 homless throughout Britain and that number is pretty astounding. Considering that Britain is a fairly dense population already at 60,943,912 or roughly working out to be 654 people per square mile or 254 per square kilometer (https://www.cia.gov...) compared to here where even though we have the 4th highest population per state at 18,251,243 we still are only at 278 people per square mile or approx 108 people per square kilometer. (http://en.wikipedia.org...) Our homeless popluation was approx 83,400 throughout our state or approx 1.25 per square mile compared with Britain at approx 4.1 per square mile. Having a little over 3 times that of here I would ask that shouldn't Britain be looking at the cause rather than treating a symptom? I may be confused as to whether than purpose of my opponents debate is to "improve" thier condition or whether or not he is looking at profiting by exploiting the poor and would ask that serious thought be given to whether or not it may be in the best interest for his country to instead begin conquering up lands again and utilizing the homeless there or possibly chemical castration for half the youths to curb further population growth. I propose a lottery system be devised as it would seem only the fairest means to decide that. And by starting a war you could take care of this over population problem by having many youths die in glorious combat! If I was president I would sell you our share of the war in Iraq for only a small profit but just think of all the population control that England could benefit from. I will give serious thought to your offer of a share of this new business venture and would very much consider the opportunity to create a franchise here. I will discuss it with my non wigwam living friends at the Casino this weekend while drinking a guiness and contributing a $1.00 each spin at the slots. If interested we have many unused lands and could harvest many a good crop of homeless, but only on the condition they have thier frontal lobes removed first, cant have the mentally ill trying to have sex with a manatee you know.
