So, with the understanding that no one's ever going to read this...

I'll ramble my ass off. It's one of my hobbies.
I've decided that our country has been taking a sad dive towards socialism for a while now. H. G. Wells (one of my favorite authors) once said "The New Deal is plainly an attempt to achieve a working socialism and avert a social collapse in America; it is extraordinarily parallel to the successive 'policies' and 'Plans' of the Russian experiment. Americans shirk the word 'socialism', but what else can one call it?" And here's Obama talking about "spreading the wealth" so I guess my generation's money is all going to be someone else's money sooner or later. It kind of sucks.
And then they're trying to take away our right to bear arms. Maybe they're just afraid of a revolution?

On a happier note, I can say with almost 98.9% certainty that it will never get as bad as 1984 by George Orwell. I might be underestimating the sheer moronic idiocy of some people, but I think there are people out there with enough intelligence to keep the world from falling that far apart.
Intellect aside, it would be impossible to rewrite the past as completely as the Party does, thanks to our good friend the Interwebs. Yay for technology!
