I live in Canada, and most Americans who are commenting about this quote are right. Lethargy already invaded Canada, by using hockey as a depressing agent. Now, it's tyranny of big government who is knocking hard on us. They (Fed + Provincial) deprive our rights. Like a strip tease. We used to smoke weed in the past. We used to use medicinal herbs. We used to have hens in our backyards. We used to have arms. We used to... No longer. Government thinks its citizens are too childish to have rights. They want us to sit, and watch their stupid propaganda (Go Canada GO !!), their insipid TV series and read what they want US to think. It's no longer Nanny state. It's pure 1984 ... Thoughtministery is coming. Beware Americans, this will happen to you as well.
