Go right the fuck ahead. Then claim "I have nothing to hide" and let 
the government take all your freedoms. Its a slippery slope, my friend, 
and Bush and Cheney are Calvin and Hobbes in a box going downhill fast.

Read it and weep, bucko, you and your ilk voted for the assholes in the 
White House who have destroyed a soverign nation, killed hundreds of 
thousands on innocent people, created untold number of martyrs and 
enemies who want us dead...all for a pack of lies, uttered to make a 
few bucks.


"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in 
England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after 
all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it 
is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a 
democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist 
dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to 
the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL 
THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of 
patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY 
COUNTRY."

"Hate Week is officially celebrated from April 4th to April 10th. The 
events during that time include waxwork displays, military parades, 
speeches and lectures. New slogans are also coined and new songs are 
written. The theme of the Hate Week is called the Hate Song. It is 
mentioned that a unit from the Fiction Department was assigned to make 
atrocity pamphlets (falsified reports of atrocities committed by 
Oceania's enemies against her) designed to stimulate Oceania's populace 
further into enraged frenzy against all enemies. The aggregate effect 
of Hate Week thus is to excite the populace to such a point that they 
"would unquestionably have torn to pieces" if given the opportunity."
