Can you hear it... The silence of disappearing Freedom

Its in the news. A certain sly someone is trying to listen to conversations. It leaves me feeling sick. Did anyone ever offer these people a copy of 1984 or do they just believe that what they are doing is really for the 'people's best'? It's for your own protection they say. Yes, every time they take away your freedoms, they are really storing them up for you in a freedom bank on the other side of the mountain where once this 'terrorism nuisance' has been dealt with, we'll all get back to our lives. Keep listening Sir, listen to the sound of time running out on your sad spell in the oval office.
