Serfdom

And on this day on planet earth it seems to find itself being that day of the sun, day of God again according to that Gregorian calendar.  That day of rest, or is that Saturday, the sabbath.  And this day also seems to find itself being that day of mothers according to that Gregorian calendar as well. And yet even when it seems as if the world is falling down all around me, and this computer that I find myself on seems as if it is stuck in pc hell and barely wants to computer, I still find myself blaghing for some reason. And so that random thought for this day is that word serfdom.  And what exactly does that word mean?  Does Wikipedia, that internet bible dictionary have n entry for this word.  As I found myself saying this word the other day in that phrase "Oh, you could be a serf, or I am  serf, or we could all be serfs" as in slaves to the landlords, working for the lord of the land just to pay rent, just to keep a roof over ones head, one paycheck away form homelessness, sometimes.  And it seems as if the whole of  planet earth can be based on this word sometimes, the idea that the basic human necessity s shelter is not free.  And whose idea is it that the land is for sale anyway. And humanity could ll be strangers in this land of planet earth.  Squat the world, housing is a human right. And so Wikipedia does have an entry for this word, and according to their website, Serfdom is "is the  socio-economic status of unfree peasants under feudalism, and specifically relates to Manorialism. It was a condition of bondage or modified slavery  which developed primarily during the High Middle Ages in Europe. Serfdom was the enforced labour of serfs on the fields of landowners, in return for protection and the right to work on their leased fields.  Now that's interesting.  No one is free when others re oppressed.  And what, if anything does this have to do with a No Police State.  Have  great serfing day.
