As a libertarian, I'm opposed to slavery, of every kind. What's your feelings on slavery, including that imposed by government?

Pat, you're wrong - you need to read more contemporaneous accounts of what was happening and less academic fantasy and conspiracy theories.
You are opposed to slavery but not to states that practice it ? Or only opposed to governments you don't like that practice it ?
The more abstract kind of slavery you talk about is awfull hard to eliminate as it exists in infinite forms. Slave to ones Porsche ; slave to ones family...
Me - I'm a slave to Love.
