Moving Closer To..........?

Ok,I understand that with rising costs everywhere, $1 million may not be enough to cover expenses should something happen. This I understand, but to force people to do this by threat is something far different. Are people forced into something in a democratic society such as this? Is this just a footstep into something bigger and more encompassing? If we continue to let those we work for, those that govern us (who we essentially work for) and those that protect us beat us into submission for (their) gain, does this not fall under dictatorship? I asked these questions in a letter to the editor at a local news site. The response was interesting. I received a call a couple days later. Not sure from whom, but the tone seemed to suggest that I ought not to write about such things as this. Yet another step closer. What becomes of a society that is bashed into submission by heavy-handed politics and corporations that are only after one thing? What happens to a society that lets itself be separated into two categories, rich and poor? It shuffles yet another step closer to being a society of conquered people. Look back into ancient empires. Divide and conquer was the scheme of the day. Divide the populace into rich and poor, enslave the poor and boonswaggle the rich out of their money by promises of a glorious future under the new leadership. The same happens today, just quicker with technology, that's all. Just as ruthless and deadly as it was a hundred or thousand years ago. One step at a time. Does ICBC know about this, do they support it? I can't say for sure due to the maze of automated secretaries I encountered. I couldn't actually talk to a human being. I haven't complied with the order yet. I park off site, choosing to pack my tools and materials....one small step at a time.
