Talk Back

I've tried to read this twice before and could never finish it. This time it took me a long time to get through the first section, but the middle and end really picked up for me.

As I was reading, I kept thinking that this could never happen and that people would speak up and stop this when little changes started happening. But there are so many times in history when people should have spoken up to stop it and they didn't, or when they did they weren't heard. I guess phone tapping isn't too far away from having a telescreen in my house.

The most disturbing part to me was the thought training and reprogramming. But the forceful reprogramming isn't as scary as the reprogramming that each person does to himself willfully.

I don’t have the background knowledge or the vocabulary to explain all of this – but I’m guessing most of you have read it and know what I’m thinking without me having to say it.

My camera isn't hidden in her sock drawer Doug.

Just because that's where the FBI, CIA, and NSA put their gear, doesn't mean some of us aren't a bit more imaginative.
