I read the thread topic "The real YEWS."
I thought it was about trees.

There are still slave markets in Liberia.
Going rate for an ag slave ten years ago was $20 American.
Naggles at my mind trying to figure out how to make that work...buying and freeing people.
Can't blame the Jews for slavery- OR the yews for that matter. Maybe the baobabs. They may be in Liberia.
India- there is still an indentured servant trade in India- that's like slavery. Those women (it's usually the women there) can buy their freedom for just a few dollars American. Maybe there are yews in India to blame.
God bless.
