Using as slaves those who were born, not of their own volition, into a world lackingthe proper resources to provide for them seems the best course of action. They deserve this punishment, and the punishment is just. I applaud you EPSE on your bravery for saying what needs to be said. You are a truly a luminary. I agree with EPSE.
