Default History repeating itself or may be it never stopped....

Mirador mentioned that this exploitation of Haitians in the sugar cane fields gives slavery a better name but in my opinion I think it's just an example of "organized modern day slavery". As many of you know I always like to go back to history because nine times out of ten current events are indicative of past events. Since the world organizations always seem to turn a blind eye to issues such as these ones unfortunately they will persist unless a modern day Fray Bartolomé de las Casas rises to the forefront because if it were not for his efforts who knows when slavery would have been abolished.
