One of my all-time favorite books! I find it SO interesting that you posted this question, then immediately posted one about the patriotic act! I remember being amazed in 1984 that we were so far from approaching Orwell's 1984. The first real shiver I got was at the initiation of the Patriot Act. Know what I mean? I understand where everyone was coming from when it was drafted, and I also understand that anything anyone wants to know about me is already out there in a thousand different places... but something about making it LAW that my opinions or relationships or perfectly "legal" actions may place me on a "watch" list just gives me a really ugly feeling in the pit of my stomach.

I in fact wonder if these message topics will put us on a watch list!

How did you observe when I posted one then the other - is it by watching new discussions?

I have my favorite subjects listed. And you were there on two of them that just happened to be one on top of the other. That's how I saw both of your questions at once.

This book is one ,or the, of my favorites books. I've read the books three years ago. I've taken in the university library, but I liked so mush that I had to buy and I bought. I love this books because the author tells us the future. He told us that we would be viewed by other peoples in a camera in 1948. In my opinion, he was a genius.
