George Orwell was only off by 25 years with the novel 1984. the beginning of the violation of our rights and invasion of our privacies was 2001 with the Patriot act. our rights are being slowly stripped away piece by piece in the name of protection. we are not far from having big brother looking over our shoulder at our every action, and anything we do that he disagrees with being a punishable offense. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
There was a quote from Star Trek The Next Generation that says it all...
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
