Back in the ’80s when, on a couple of occasions, I visited the Soviet Union, I always wondered what was it really like to live in that godforsaken place. But it didn’t much matter. For all the creepy spying that was going on, I realized I’d be out of there in a week or two.
Now I know what it was like. It’s come home.
I live in fear.
I don’t want to admit it, but it’s true. Every phone call I make, every email I send, every text I message, every article I write including this one, I imagine being bugged or recorded.
1984 is here and it’s not pretty.
It infects everything we do.
For example, I want to criticize the IRS with every breath I take, but in the back of my head I worry — what if they come after me? What if I’m audited and have to spend the next few years and untold dollars on accountants and attorneys? Is this fair to my family? Is this how I want to spend my life?

I guess Winston Smith had it better than we do today as portrayed in the novel "1984". The technology was not that efficient then as it is today.

I don't think you know what true fascism is. Comparing us to Mussolini's Italy is kind of a stretch.
Is there someplace that sends you link to all these random idiot blogs? Do you get paid trying to get them exposure?

Hmm... Fascism and Mussolini? Here I thought Simon was equating his thoughts with the Soviet regime. Although they weren't as technically advanced as we are today. But as usual you bark up the wrong tree. It's Fascism/Marxism and Big Brother Simon is relating to. No wonder you failed 20th Century history.
I suggest you read the following:
"Old and New Fascism and the Revolutionary Tasks of the Proletariat"
Marxism International » Fascism, Old and New
I'm sure Werwolf was against Bush passing the Patriot Act. NOT!
