Over history, man has frequently given control of individuals lives to some power.  Kings, rajas, dictators, pundits, governments..... they all have or had some control over the individual and how that life will be lived.  Now we seem to have corporations that control our lives.  And on the global scale.

I grew up on a farm and so often, people would come out "to the country" and dump unwanted pets.  We would find these confuse, scared, hungry animals wandering along the road or in the fields.  It was very heart-breaking as we could not take them all in.
