If the government can help itself to as much of your property (and therefore time) as it pleases, does this means that you are a slave? Here’s a brief history explaining the rise of the modern system of mass enslavement:
The Grouch: I'm nowhere near as cynical as the creator of the this video, but I think it presents an interesting, though nightmarish, Orwellian point of view of human history and modern society. I don't think our overlords in the government exert the kind of control this video implies, though they are working hard to expand their reach. I still think freedom has the upper hand, and humans aren't livestock working for the benefits of their masters, but are working for the betterment of themselves and their families. What do you think?
I'm more on your side in this analysis, but it's valuable to have some cynics out there just to keep one eye open and catch the wolf among the sheep.
