Yes, it is 2003, but are we getting closer to 1984?

ive never read 1984 but my friends that read books have told me all about it. its the rave! its not required reading, though animal farm is. anyway i just wanna agree with the guy who started this thread. im afriad that "homeland security" (which is a lame name might i add) could be a threat cause it's new and was created by a terrible administration, the bush admin. also, does the nsa even exist? and if so how strong are they? and are they run by benevolant (good) people? protect the constitution! apathy is suicide!
