LOL. Great idea for a thread    
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of coffee forever.

Mutilated Mind

Indeed. Or how you are made to believe you are more intelligent while they take your intelligence away from you, or just generally how you have to accept a situation you would never accept if you were left free to do your own thinking.
