Absolutely disgusting! This really makes my blood boil and these intrusions are becoming far too commonplace. For my sins, my wife watches the soaps and I occasionally watch to see the increasingly blatant propaganda that's being spewed by these social manipulators. I've noticed a trend where the social system is becoming increasingly mentioned and indeed entagled within families lives for an ever broadening array of issues. The subconscious message being that the parent is the guardian and the state is the parent .. I fear this is situation is going to get far worse over the coming years.
