"BIG BROTHER" IS US!

Who would have thought that George Orwell's Big Brother in the novel 1984 would turn out to be the people and not the government? More in moment.

With almost everyone having a cell phone, and all those cell phones with cameras there is no longer a place on earth that is private, and we only have ourselves to blame. I heard no protest, I saw no marching in the streets, we have accepted it. Not only do we accept it we live for the time when we can capture that one event that will give us our 15 minuets of fame.

I remember when we all feared the outcome of Orwell's book, 1984. We feared it because it was the government taking away our freedom, snooping where they did not belong. Well, as it turns out, we have nothing to fear but the people around us. So lock your doors, tint your windows and keep your mouth shut, because we are out to get us. Isn't democracy wonderful ? Spying of the people, by the people, for the people?
