Am I the only one who remembers movies from the '80s that predicted a future of total government control, with cameras everywhere, police armed with machine guns, restrictions on free speech and movement, shutdown of protests, an iron grip on the media, and the rule of a plutocracy? All done in the name of making everyone "SECURE."
The only thing that differs from that dystopian vision and today is that in those movies, it always seemed to be night time, or the characters were living in burnt-out buildings.
Otherwise, I think we are living in those times, and it's going to take a hell of a lot more than a few scrappy kids wearing bandanas, sporting punk haircuts, and playing in a gnarly rock band to change things.
