You are probably being ironic. But what's really ironic is that you are absolutely right. This is the result of a free society. Where you can make it big, or fail miserably. And the addicts aren't there against their will really, it's just that they have no free will because of the addiction. Or not enough anyway.

I'd say the reasons for much of the misery within American society i.e. serious addictions are not freedom but its relatively merciless mindstate but I get what you mean.

its the freedom to have a "merciless" mindstate or whatever mindstate thats the point.  and dont believe everything you see on tv, the us isnt what its made out to be.

Sure, you have the the freedom to have a "merciless" mindstate as an individual but that's what's hurting a society as a whole. And much too many people are not free in their opinion, they get that 'every man for himself'-bullshit spoon-fed everyday. In my country it's the same, we're just not completely on your level yet.

Well cone to find out that the farm it self might not be as ballin as we might think. There is a reason they have to "slave" ppl... The bank and Tyson foods got most farms by the balls in debt so bad the only make 18k a year...

I'd enslave some mutha fuckas too...

Nate Dogg's Rotting Corpse.:
The word "slavery" gets thrown around way too often by bleeding heart do-gooders outraged that the world is not a pleasant place. Look, this is not slavery. As a matter of fact, calling it that is somewhat demeaning to legions of enslaved blacks who were kidnapped and shipped here and forced in to labor. This cock sucker made a rash of poor decisions in life that led him to where he is today. I can empathize with anyone who struggles, especially with drug addiction, but the fact that they allow themselves to be victimized in the manner pointed out in this article is not solely a blemish upon the owners of said ag operation, but those who work there themselves. The farm managers are the pimps, these poor souls are the ho's. They can get out of the game if they want, it will be hard, but so is everything else in life worth doing.

Very interesting perspective.  I cosign. I think the ideas of slavery have changed from what truly was slavery of the past, but there are still forms of slavery alive today.
