Orwell was an optimist

It looks like Americans will have the opportunity to pay $10 per month to have video surveillence cameras installed in their homes ( AT&T launches video monitoring service ). Clearly George Orwell, being British, was thinking too small. It turns out people will actually pay a monthly fee to give someone complete listening and viewing capabilities inside of your home. No jackbooted troops necessary, just some good old-fashioned marketing. Perhaps there will be a rebate program through the NSA soon. Then there will be the new FOX 'reality' show "America's Funniest Home Surveillance Videos". Big Brother as a Capitalist. Things really are different post-9/11.
