Cardinal O'Brien: Weasel Words

'Imagine for a moment that the Government had decided to legalise slavery but assured us that ‘no one will be forced to keep a slave’.
'Would such worthless assurances calm our fury? Would they justify dismantling a fundamental human right? Or would they simply amount to weasel words masking a great wrong?'

Cardinal O'Brien.
Hmm... seeing as your favourite book, The Bible, endorses slavery on racist grounds (and genocide, too) probably best to steer clear of this analogy.
Just a thought.
