Daily Kos: 'You Can Sell A Kilo Once; You Can Sell A 13-Year-Old Girl 20 Times A Night' - American Slavery

Daily Kos: 'You Can Sell A Kilo Once; You Can Sell A 13-Year-Old Girl 20 Times A Night' - American Slavery: Watching this TED Talk discussion about slavery in America was like taking a punch in the stomach. I had no idea human trafficking existed so blatantly here in our own backyards.
In this video, Tony Talbott candidly talks about his feelings after his first real encounter with human slavery. It was during the Gulf War. At the age of 23, Talbott and his buddies decided to visit a bar in the Philippines called, Sweet Sixteen. He came to find out find the bar/brothel was given that name, not only because there were 16-year olds, but because there were no girls dancing or 'working' there over the age of 16. Let me rephrase; The oldest prostitute was 16 years old. Yes, I had to let that roll around in my brain for a bit, too.
