ORIGINAL: hybridspecies2 People from both genders,all sexual orientations,all professions and occupations are involved with BDSM and associated activities. Would you support any of the following if a pressure group was set up to lobby policicians,clergy,social reformers, lawyers ect for the legalisation of consensual slavery between one or more consenting adults? Would you support the setting up of a consensual slave register,where the designated slave could pay a one off registration fee to have their name included as a voluntary slave without limit of time,after a criminal records and mental health check?? Would you suppoort athe setting up of a slave owner licensing authority,where the prospective owner could aquire a license to own for say 10 years,for a set fee after a criminal records check and mental health check. The setting up of a Registered slave welfare inspection agency,where welfare workers could visit the address where a slave is residing during their ownership,to check that they are being reasonably well treated? Why stop at consensual slavery? Why not have the government (US, Canada, EU, wherever) license, register, track, and inspect everyone involved in any form of D/s activity? Then they could move on to regulating any sort of behind closed doors activity...sex, masturbation, non-heterosexuality, etc. Oops...sorry...governments have been doing that last one for a while! But seriously...governments can't keep the workplace safe, they can't keep drunks from running oil tankers aground, they can't ensure that the people's legislators keep their fingers out of the till. Just why do you think a government agency could regulate consensual slavery. I've no doubt they could staff it...after all, sex is at least peripherally involved...but regulate it? Not in this lifetime! Tasha
