Peonage A condition of enforced servitude by which a person is restrained of his or her liberty and compelled to labor in payment of some debt or obligation.

So, only PERSONS can be restrained to "Peonage"

And I am NOT a fucking person, so fuck the peonage :P

are you sure ?

Well, in this LEGAL world, how can a Man have debts ? :/

isnt all commerce conducted with debts ?

Isn't there a catch 22 in that government would have to declare you to be a person?

The government would probably deem you to be a person...until you correct the mistake.

Has anyone read the case? I fixed the link.

I opened the link, clicked "edit", and then clicked "find", and wrote the word "surety", and nothing came up, then I re-clicked "edit", and then "find", and wrote the word "accounting", and nope, nothing came up......so I didn't read it :(

Its also from 1911....

So, he contracts to work for the employer for a year, at the rate of 12$/month, and then the employer gives him 10.75$/month? The 15$ given upfront looks to be worked off in the first month and a bit, then he leaves (probably because he is being shorted by 1.25$/month) , then they charge him.... (I'd leave too by-the-way) Then it appears that they deemed that he had the intent to break the contract from the beginning. How did they figure it was without just cause though?
