How, indeed. We didn't give permission but we trusted and fell asleep at the wheel, not noticing or, ignoring the subtle changes. And now we are cooked, good and proper. Thank you Mark, well said in plain English.

what about when someone threatens to take all of your money, your property or even your freedom by force if you don't do exactly as they say? is that not criminal?; "...Well said! Did you know one of Rockefeller's daughters. like him, was incredibly frugal due to fear of loosing it all and he was a robber barron. Similar to the economic times we live in now, back then people were rightfully afraid from the end of the Victorian times forward. Australian people have seen how being controlled by even affecting one's ability to provide for their family is the ultimate in exerting the unspoken in our faces that they're doing and it's a challenge because what are people to do about it? It's wrong and just a test run.
