"...imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever. And remember that is forever. The face will always be there to be stamped upon."
- O'Brian to Winston, after subjecting him to countless months of unimaginable torture (but the worst is yet to come...) (1984 , Orwell)
I must say that is a very memorable line from a very distrubing and brilliant novel, 1984. A must read.
Ironic, but after reading it again yesterday I of course had the Party slogan in my head, "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU" and I stumbled upon this...

...fuckin eery.
I think the US population needs to examine ourselves very closely and shake ourselves out of this dull complacency regarding our freedom. Anyone know there is a proposed Bill to allow stripping US citizenshep for 'terrorist activity'? Hey, sounds good huh? Now imagine the abuse potential when combined with the 'war' on drugs and other such channels of gov't abuse (define 'terrorism' please...good luck).
I am truly starting to think that an armed citizenship is necessary to ensure that freedom, democracy and capitalism survives...
I think I will go buy a good rifle before the backlash from the 'sniper' fuckface results in the further erosion of our Constitutional rights and BIG BROTHER bans our right to bear arms...
