For those misguided individuals that stroke the 'big brother' wantabees, Orwell's 1984 is a upotian vision. I'm relatively certain that the phrase "How many fingers am I holding up?" brings a squeemish delight into the control freak's fettish! Those of us that insist on calling it as we see it (four fingers you ninny...), tend to be thought of as traitors by the current inquisition... IMHO, these guys need to make enemies, that they might have any self esteem at all... Why the consistant refusal to encourage ANY seriously peaceful solutions... Spying creates suspicion, and suspicious people sometimes try to justify terrible intrusions... that fit into none of the spiritual teachings I've ever found... ttr
