Answer 2

You've obviously never read, "1984." In our world:



Big Brother will decide how your money is spent on frivolities. The poor, disabled, "proles" will be shoved into low income ghettos.



Big Brother will disarm you while criminals are stocking up to take what you have. The government has nothing to do with the black market.



China? Tienanmen Square 1989.



Big Brother tells you want your allowed to know. You're not allowed to go beyond a set criteria or you're considered ______ (substitute appropriate derogatory label).



Big Brother wants you on welfare with no hope of ever achieving anything and controls the price of everything.



Big Brother couldn't care less about the environment, so long as billions of your dollars can be wasted for pork projects that really go into someone's pocket. Bikes? Ha! Nearly every leader we have has a personal jet.



Big Brother smothers individualism and forces every individual to conform. Free thought is the enemy. Remember, Winston wasn't even allowed to keep so much as a journal.



Big Brother was never at war, the "war" was a front to justify rations so the leaders had it all. Welcome to humanity.



You can go by either "1984" or "Animal Farm" on that subject.



Edit: Don't be hard on those answering. You'd be amazed at the number of posters, just on here a month or so ago, who would ask questions like that and be completely serious.

Answer 3

If your idea of putting your money to better use involves the purchase of a 3d TV, you can do with a little less money , and alittle more NASA.



No one is disarming you retard, read the news.



Red China has how many billionaires? They arent too red anymore dude. A north korea reference, thats cute.



Yes, the environment needs to be protected. If you want to destroy a species forever in exchange for short term gain, you can go to Africa. We wont let you do that kind of **** in the states anymore.



Employment, food, healthcare, and news are vastly private. Depending on your location electricity and water can go either way. DWP and other public utilities didn't get gouged when Cali deregulated the electricity market I may remind you (Enron).



The only thing you conform to is the constitution.



What are you smoking, because I would love to have a pound and a half right now.

Answer 5

Big brother wants to take our freedom. The safest most secure place on earth is solitary confinement in a Prison. Big brother wants to take the Money that i give a great portion of my life to earn , and give it to a lazy slug.

I hate big brother and I want Big brother to stay the hell out of my life.
