orwell got it wrong. "big brother," not a problem. small minds, a problem. "secure?" what a joke. if you don't know your neighbors, then who do you know? |

have to disagree, Orwell was right. Aren't we all afraid of what others might see, never know who might be watching. "Trust no one" has become the motto of our generation." enjoyed the read. Good movie and especially poignant given recent events. "Build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life". Terry Pratchett |

small mindedness is a problem...people judging by what they THINK they know of you...not necessarily what is true... |
