Captain Obvious Says - Slavery

. And sadly they know they are slaves

On this point I beg to disagree, there are some who fall into your category,but I fear more do not understand it at all. At this time it is the leftist halls of acadamia, people who pursue perfection not used to the everyday challenges of survival. There main target has always been the lower-educated, the poor, the disabled and sub-cultures. People who are struggling to survive, happy to hear promises of a better life. Easily mis-lead by elitist lies.

Worst of all, it is coming from both sides. We are a nation of the free. Free to be careful.

Slaves to technology. Or to cover a whole bunch of bases slaves to the advertising/television vision. Slaves to bankrupt systems. Slaves who have to be told they are successful who have to be shown fulfilment. Slaves who only know how to recieve a projected idea rather than project their own. Slaves to fashoin. Slaves to a music industry that calls them fools. Slaves to politics that by all ALL evidence willfully rob their constituents. And worst of all Slaves to willful ignorance. But you are right Owl some are just plian ole un-aware.

There is one inherent slavery in all of us. Slavery to human nature. The key nature being that of survival. Being physically weak and inadequate our survial instincts morphed into competition and greed, otherwise we would not be masters of this earth. All other forms of slavery have evolved from these basic characteristics. The slavery to willful ignorance is a natural outgrowth of the human nature known as Laziness.

We are presently in dark moments as a civilization we have been there before. The basic instinct for survival is still there and it will override competition and greed as necassary.

Do wish it would hurry up a bit. Would like to shake some of these chains off in my lifetime.

The plodding along does make one feel as if slogging through mud.
