We're all gonna be SLAVES!!!
Insane letter from my local paper today...

"Slavery is back in the form of big government
To the Editor:
Slavery is here and slavery is good. Thy Masters name is Government. Slavery is good because the sheeple will never have to think. Every decision will be made for them by Master. Master will decide what light bulbs we will use and how big a tank we have on our toilets. (Done) Master will decide how efficient our vehicles must be and will own the means of production. (Done) Master will decide where we set our thermostats how much electricity we can use. (Wait for it) Master will decide how much your income will be and where you can work. (Wait for it)
Master will decide who gets money for college and what they must do to get it. (Done) Master will control who can own a home and who can’t. (Done) Master will decide who gets what medical treatment and who lives and dies. (Wait for it) Master will decide what you can drink and smoke and how much they cost. (Done) Master will decide how much you can weigh and what food you eat. (wait for it) Master will decide we must be safe, seatbelts and helmets for instance. (Done) Master will decide where banks can loan money and to whom. (Done) Master will decide which voices are heard and which are silenced. (Again)
Master will decide virtually everything for we poor ignorant peasant/slaves. What a relief. Liberty was such a burden!
Beck finally had the nerve to use the “Slave” word on his radio show today. Radicals like me, Walter Williams and others have been using it for years. As long as the people yawn and sigh and amuse themselves with celebrity gossip, fashion and idiotic television they will remain ignorant and compliant.
This is good for Master. After all, isn’t that what slaves are supposed to be?
Craig Gilkison
Hopewell"

To the benefit of the very, very, few at the top of the list.

Funny how they miss this part.

Or, pathetic.

5. Didn't this already happen under Bush?
By crapping on Labor laws and destroying the economy, people have become slaves. With such a lousy economy, people can't protest anything at work and there is a lot of ass kissing going on.

7. Exactly
It's not the Government per se, but the Corporations who push for their agenda. So far they have gotten what they wanted. Now if abortion can just be overturned they will have a steady uninterrupted supply of slaves.
