telescreen

From George Orwell's 1984. It's a wall-mounted electronic device that doubles as a television and a surveillance camera. Used by the Thought Police to monitor the citizens.

We're probably about 10 years away from having telescreens - or their equivalent - installed in all our homes. God Bless America.

Patriot Act

Really the "USA PATRIOT ACT," and acronym meaning "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act." Like most of the Bush administration's actions, this one sickens me. Passed with almost no congressional review in the wake of 9/11 (and thus taking advantage of our emotional state), the Patriot Act gives the Executive Branch and law enforcement almost Orwellian powers of investigation and presidence over the Constitution.

If the Founding Fathers were alive today, they'd probably stage another revolution against our current government.

Thought Police

The FBI is on its way to becoming the Thought Police.
