Mark This The Day I Officially Became Paranoid

if this doesnt VIVIDLY remind you of the book 1984, then go read the book again. Normally I try to keep this journal absolutely commentary-free, but this is too much--normally when someone comments about something that sounds even remotely dystopian, they say 'kinda sounds like 1984, huh?' Well, this is fucking Panopticon if I have ever seen it.

Don't question us, Citizen. It's our job to do know what's best. We're good at our job. Go back to playing the drums, relaxing in comfortable relative obscurity, clinging to the lower middle class and not causing problems.

Or else we'll hang you in the town square until you are dead.

X's and O's,
That guy behind you when you walk.

Ok, but if you get some surveillance tape of a guy in Groucho Marx glasses and prosthetic lips leaving a flaming bag of doo-doo on the steps of city hall, I want you to know that I had nothing to do with it.
