So no, as a follow up to yesterday’s blog, they never rang back. I’m girding my loins to start the process over again:

C’est La 21st Century Vie!
Slaves to Technology?
Possibly.
Certainly not completely free.

And we find ourselves
Modern Medieval Serfs
Trying to maintain some dignity
In this new Kingdom
Of Lords and Masters.

They control the circuitry
And the software
The invisible money
And most of the shares
In The Company.

And the phone lines.

It’s an ancient tale of a familiar greed.

But this is not a conspiracy theory.
Just a rehashing of
The same old, same old
With the same need for us (the peasants)
To take back some control.
Take some responsibility.
In order to gain
Some fundamental liberty.
