By now George Orwell's warnings of Big Brother have been so overplayed that they are hardly listened to. However, I could not help referring to Big Brother for Richard's story because it defines "Thought Crime".
In Orwell's book, 1984, "Thought Crime" is the accusation of the ALLEGED attempts to commit a crime against the government. Thought Crime was a serious enough offense to be detained for unspecified amount of time, during which the "criminal" would undergo correction.
Most people see 1984 as just a book that depicts a horrible alternate future. To me, 1984 is a hyperbole of a prophecy that has come true. It's truth is stated in the SILENCE of the news networks of our country.
Here is one of the many proofs. Again, it's not just about what happened it about America's news networks being SILENT while Britain's news are exploding.
