Are we going to accept indentured servitude going forward? Are these contracts blessed of God and can't be put asunder? Does God have the legal responsibility to enforce the Devil's contracts?
Even Jesus threw the money changers off of the old Wall Street. Why does Judaism require that you can only be indentured for 7 years? Why does Islam prohibit the charging of interest? I think the goal is that they knew, at least when those prohibitions were codified, that non-bounded servitude denies the underlying humanity of the individual and the family.
We have to be careful here. It is easy to run amok and tear everything down in the horde name of justice. But we can't accept injustice either. There is a needle that needs to be threaded. Are you ready kids?
