I'm currently in my last semester of high school and I'm doing my research paper. Since you guys appear to be intellectuals, well-read, and all that jazz I was hoping to get some of your thoughts on this. I'm doing it on government surveillance/control (I hope I spelled that right) and, since it's a relatively short paper, I'm sticking to the patriot act and US propaganda during the war in Iraq. My thesis is that if the US govt continues unchecked we could have a poential 1984 on our hands.
Your thoughts?

Edit: Just in case I wasn't clear enough i meant 1984 the book. Not the year with shoulderpads as fashion accessories.

I think claiming that we could have a 1984 situation is going a tad bit too far.

I was thinking that but I had to relate this to british literature in some way. This seemed the best way to me.
Edit: Plus my english teacher's been annoying me about the book for awhile now. I trust her so I figured I'd give it a read. It has not disappointed.

Understood. I'd just go light on the hysteria. As long as skeptical people exist there will never be a 1984 in America.

I'm not paranoid if they really are out to get me, right?

If the government can't hide what c*ck they sucked, do you really think they'd be out ot get you?

Even the paranoid have some enemies.

But I'm in .au and some dick has tried to put a great firewall in here. I'll be ready when the time comes.

Don't get me started on that shit. If it ever happens, I'm moving to New Zealand.

Was your mom ever in the play "Chicago"?

But for the paper. If you think about it, you can easily relate it to the bay of pigs invasion and vietnam.
