Since we are sending Predator Drones to Libya. I thought you may want to see what they are all about. Don’t watch if you don’t like nightmares.
The comparisons with Vietnam will become more apparent by the day. Where is the outcry?
People simply disappeared, always during the night. Your name was removed from the registers, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten. You were abolished, annihilated: vaporized was the usual word.
George Orwell, 1984

Though I see 1984-ish things, that leave me chilled, I think "Brave New World" is more insidious, and therefore more likely, of our future/nightmare. At least the US...can you see rank and file Americans standing shoulder to shoulder with Jon Savage, demanding the right to be unhappy? Pass the soma, please....
