I'm not surprised at all. People apparently already accept that they
don't own their minds and their bodies (war on drugs and other
victimless crime), so taking away the ownership of their life
(what's left of it) isn't that big a deal. And then there's religion:
"we are but unworthy servants, oh Lord..." Don't you just looove
auto-oppression. Like I said, no surprise here...
