president lincoln, back me up.

Recently, a millionaire from New York (of course) was sentenced to eleven years in prison for “forced labor, conspiracy, involuntary servitude and harboring aliens”. Varsha Sabhnani (with a name like that, she should know a thing or two about aliens) and her husband were practically treating their two Indonesian workers like slaves for the last several years. I’m no history buff (oh wait, I am), but I think that slavery has been illegal since before President Lincoln’s assassination--- actually, slavery was illegal in the North long before we got to the South (secession is a terrible thing to waste). Get with the program, lady. I know you’re not that old (but you do look man-ish), but beating people for “sleeping late or stealing food from trash bins because they were poorly fed” is something that would’ve happened in the 1800’s, not 2007. And don’t play the “indentured servant” card with me; I know that was replaced by slavery way before Mr. McCain was even in college (I, however, can use the “McCain is old” card whenever I please). So I’m sure that if President Lincoln was here today, he’d bitch slap you and write a second Emancipation Proclamation. Apparently, though, Sabhnani was once “a woman who spent a lifetime doing good deeds.” I wonder what happened to her since then. Did she go on a Fox News binge?
