i hear about human trafficking stories more and more these days.
there was a tv show on lifetime not long ago, and now today, mentioned in cnn.
its good that there's more awareness.
Here are the facts:
Trafficking in people is modern-day slavery; human beings are bought, sold and forced into slave labor and/or sexual exploitation.The U.S. government estimates that each year up to 800,000 people are taken from their homes and families against their will and transported across international borders, while millions more are trafficked within their own countries. Eighty percent of these victims are women and girls.
According to U.S. government sources, approximately 14,500 to 17,500 people are trafficked into this country every year.
The sale of women and girls is becoming as common as that of illegal drugs and weapons.
The U.S. government estimates that criminals are making $9.5 billion a year from this industry.

(Jan 10 06, 19:32)This president is a ho like no president before him. He'll tell you what you want to hear and then do whatever else.
Search google for marianas islands and bush.
Apparently their freedom isnt the same as ours.

also, the marianas are a territory of the US.

this episode of south park pretty much sums up the problem, not counting sweatshops
