... you mean we have a choice? Great! Can we get rid of Big Bro King George W and his Jester sooner rather than later? (OH NO, here comes the FBI after me! "America... I knew you well...")

A from Reston, I like it

The people who want a Big Brother are those too scared or lazy to take responsibility for their own lives. Too bad we can't divide the country into two zones ... the Big Brother zone and the Free and Independant zone. Oh ... they tried that already about 145 years ago, and Big Brother won.

Never forget those immortal words "We are from the guvment....an we are here to hep you..." Or perhaps better--"We are from the guvment...and we are here to hep someone else (or the environment, etc.) at your expense--whether you like it or not." The rise of Big Brother is the story of the rise of the welfare state in America...from each according to his ability; to each according to his need/laziness/history/ad infinitum. Ya just can't have one without the other.....and that my friends, was around long before GW every became president.

When individual rights are no longer respected, you will need a Big Brother to 'protect you/ from the other 'Big Brothers'.

It is very telling that Wells was OSS and that his vision of a future world is coming true even with his warning
 -- the guy, next door		 
The United Nations is NOT your friend. Can you name one mission of the UN that was not a failure? (other than extracting massive sums of money from the American people.) Anyone wearing a blue beret or helmet on American soil should be a target of opportunity.
 -- Hotel Charlie, Las Vegas, Nevada		 
I don't want a Big Brother.
