Janet unlocked the library, slammed her bookbag on the floor behind the desk, and started making a list of overdue books.

"He was telling Liz about slavery? Hasn't she seen it firsthand? What the hell could this teach her about slavery that she doesn't already know? No, she's never been a slave (as far as I know), but that doesn't mean she doesn't have normal human empathy for the condition. I've never been hit by a truck, but I'm not going to run right out and do that just so I understand accident victims, am I?"

She began pacing and running a hand through her hair. "Charlie knows better," she muttered.

"Exactly!" exclaimed Janet. "Though I think, if anything, the teacher wants us to come to the conclusion that slavery's not necessarily bad. You should have heard some of the stuff she was arguing to Cameron with."

"I know." Janet collapsed into a seat and glared. "I think he's being an overenthused optimist here."

At this, Sam...well, Sam lost it and started yelling. The hell with Angelus. She lived with the Slayer. She almost hoped he heard her.

"Slavery's not necessarily BAD? It's slavery! There's nothing about that condition that is not evil! Tell that to the millions of Jaffa, and all the millions of people across the galaxy who were enslaved by the Goa'uld, completely unaware that there was another option!"
