So in other words the problem is not in what I said, but in what you think I really think. Wondered why people were getting their knickers in a twist.

I drew an analogy between all wage work and slavery. And said that both were equally bad, rather than equally good. But you didn't see that, you only saw what you wanted to see.
I wonder why you didn't see that? Perhaps people who work for wages find it uncomfortable to be likened to prostitutes? Is that why so many people are offended? I wonder?
