Valuing our Time and Slavery

I recently watch the movie Amistand. The movie is about how African slaves freed themselves of their oppressors by taking over the Ship they were being transported in to be sold in to slavery, to then face justice for what they did (kill their oppressors) and ultimately gaining their freedom. Somehow after watching the movie I had the feeling that slavery and selling knowledge by the hour seem to have similarities but still selling knowledge by the hour is not as extreme.

It is really a question about what we value. Selling human knowledge by the hour is done when time is not valued. Selling humans in to slavery is when humans are of no value. I’m grateful that human slavery does not exist as it once did. I'll be grateful when the billable hour will be done away with as it exists today.
