Once upon a time we had a great uncle who was there for us in his own subtle ways, he may have overseen some of the things that make us tick and he may have asked for our assistance in return in times of need. Today that uncle has been slowly replaced by mommy dearest wanting to bring about complete control over our lives in less than benign ways. Oh yes this is slowly occurring no matter if we would prefer to keep our heads buried in the sand over the fact that we have allowed for it to occur.
