1984 was a quarter of a century ago, Larry.
What's the word for a form of government that puts the rights of the
state above the rights of the individual? Totalitarian?
I think we're look at Nannytarianism coming out of the closet.
The closet is where little kids think monsters live, maybe they're
right.
