    You haven't spoken to many people under the age of 30 in the last few years have you?

    Considering these are the very people that the OP is referring to as being perpetually in debt their entire lives, almost from the moment their life starts, they really couldn't give a flying flaming f^%k in a rolling doughnut about "being in someone else's pocket". They, and rest of society it seems, are increasingly happy to trade pretty much anything (i.e. being in someone else's pocket, privacy etc.) in return for "shiny things" (i.e. social networks, streaming pacification for the cathode ray nipple we're weaned from). Hell, the government and police authorities don't even need to do any surveillance/detective work these days, everything that happens in everyone's lives is plastered all over F*cebook within seconds!

    Remember, war is peace. Freedom is slavery.
