Random Tidbit...

While surfing today I came across a blog named IQ & PC, which contained the following quote in the sidebar:

Socialism makes the individual the slave of the state – capitalism frees them.

It occurred to me that it would be more accurate to say,

Socialism makes the individual the slave of the state, capitalism makes the individual the slave of the corporation. In either case, the solution is obvious: Either become the state, or become the corporation. Which is more realistic?

What bothers me about this is that, while I have no interest in being a slave, I also have no interest in being a master. I'd rather just get away from it all, entirely.
