It really does show the 'far-sighted ignorance' of people who are
supposed to be in the 'know'. Everything that has been done from the
1980's to the present can be looked at as a 'better way to control the
masses'. Do N. Americans actually believe our governments will not do
the same for control? Of course this will only take place /after/
everyone's home and office computer has been scrutinized for 'subversive
suggestions'.
And "the Brave New World" rolls on.
