Could Big Brother of 1984, still be a possibility?

We are halfway there already...

Bit if an exaggeration given the fact that we've replaced the Bush administration with an infinitely more transparent Barack Obama.

Yeah, he's been soooooo open. What happened to his promises of policies open for review and comment to the public. Hasn't happened.

It will not be like the book. The people will be bound by stealth surveillance and Ikea-style comforts. But the essentials will be the same: Yin Yang of polarized states, panoptical authority governing with false mandate, victims being called oppressors, parasites sucking producers. But instead of overt oppression and filth, there will be indoctrination and arrogance. It will look like peace - but at a cost of blood.

Unless people by and large start to realize that with freedom comes responsibility.

Liberal Fascism.

Well, in a technical sense, I read about television/monitor advances where they can shrink the pixels to such small sizes that taking out some and making them into receivers is possible. All that a digital camera really is is a bunch of pixels that record the light hitting them, they could do that to watch the viewer. In fact, that is probably what Star Trek screens do.

Oh, I was not referring just to the USA (I don't even know how everyday life is there, I've never been on that side of Atlantic - yet!)

Generally, here in Greece, I have the feeling that little, everyday things are changing in a way that leads us to handle over more control over our lives to "the Big-bother". From what I gather over the Internet it seems that this is the case for other countries as well.

Its our civic duty to be as politically incorrect as possible. If we all perform it without fear the government has no power over us.

ps I'm talking about the West in general.
