Are we in control of our lives? Do we actually have a say of how we Iive our lives or are we at the mercy of the giant corporations driving the engine of our modern consumerist society? One thing is for sure ; we are not happy. Are we just fodder ,Matrix style, to keep the wheels of capitalism rolling? Yet we have free speach, political correctness , a free press. Surely these are positive signs that we have a voice? If not how do we cope? We gird our loins over coffee and seek mutual enlightenment.
