Justice William O. Douglas Quote

“The privacy and dignity of our citizens [are] being whittled away by sometimes imperceptible steps. Taken individually, each step may be of little consequence. But when viewed as a whole, there begins to emerge a society quite unlike any we have seen -- a society in which government may intrude into the secret regions of a [person’s] life.”

1984 is almost here. The constant war part and total control of mainstream media are both solid. Give our corporations a few more years and all will be accomplished.
