thank you @mindhawk for checking out my blog. Your series on privacy sounds very interesting! I'm definitely heading over there to check it out.

And you're right on the money with that comment - the poor are the ones who see the tyranny. The indentured slave was never freed - and in fact the "real" slaves were merely transferred into indentured slaves and told to be happy with the upgrade. As the lower and upper classes split even further apart more of the "middle" class is feeling that tug of slavery (maybe this will be the spark we all need? - Maybe not as people seem complacent with the slave merely to consume cycle...)
