Sometimes the way in which people dance around in order to avoid answering a question, answers the question. Such as here where the subject of slavery vs. employment results in many minutes of avoided the question “which is a happier society, the one with freedom or the one with slavery?”

This is what you get when someone believes something that they know society knows to be bunk. In this case the guy seems to believe that it’s just fine to enslave people because his religion tells him so… but the society in which he lives doesn’t believe that. But then, I wonder why he hesitates… it’s not like people are burning down and vandalizing *his* religious institutions, even though their support of slavery is much more recent – to the point of “right now, still” – than others who are getting attacked.
