Yeah, I really hate it waking up to a voice box that monitors every word I say. It is also really hard to control my emotions everywhere in the public so that the government will think I am feelings-free. How many wars have we fought against eur-asia now? Oh, thats right, 50.
Yep, truth of the matter is, our country sucks! Orwell was dead on the money with his book. In fact, I don't think he had one fact wrong throughout the entire book! He pretty much must have traveled through time, saw our present day government and wrote about it.
Jesus Christ. The government is not taking over our lives people. Sure, they're becoming a little more invasive, but who really cares? Honestly, my life has NOT changed since the security acts have been passed. Quit making stupid-ass exaggerations.</font>[/quote]
If you'd look at how many times it has become "a little more invasive" since 1950, you might realize the difference. But they do it little by little so that citizens like you think it is no big deal.
