Because we certainly are.
We're slaves to technology, to our jobs, to fashion trends, to one another insomuch as we care about what others think about us.
We're slaves to educational institutions, The Rich, taxes, our Vices (be they nicotine, caffeine or addictions with longer names) our thoughts, our fears, our government - we've slaves to the complacency that has set in across the country as society convinces us that Everything Is Okay Just Breathe.
We are slaves to the last dollar in our bank accounts - to Beacon, FICO, Transunion, Equifax and Experian - we are slaves to our past and to industry and to our Property.
We never own anything because in the end what we have ends up owning us. Defining us.
Is this really what life's all about? Money in the bank? An 800 on some database somewhere? All the other bs that "we can't take with us?"
If so....
Totally weak.

You really need to read some of John Twelvehawks stuff.
What I found on the web sounds interesting. May go try to find some of his books this weekend.
Thanks for the rec!
That's why it's important, oh so important, to let your freak flag fly, son!
I know. It's so lame when you really think about it. :(
