I think your on to something here. Trying to reign in too much bad behavior all at once can be a futile action. I give that one to . So, lets look at the priority given to the bad behaviors. Here is 3 of the commandments (taken from wikipedia):
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy
So from this, we can assume prohibition of graven images and taking his name in vain, and the remembrance of the sabbath are all more important than the prohibition of owning another human. I guess It is nice that it seems that the slavery is limited to 6 years and the slave cannot be beaten to death, though.
BTW, @0101010, Do many people get the reference your name is making? I must admit that I missed it at first. I just noticed that it was a binary palindrome, nothing more. However, once I looked at your profile page and seen your tag line I had the sneaking suspension that it was binary for 42. A quick binary to decimal conversion confirmed it and I had a little chuckle.
