A little note from history… in 1948, 11 leaders of the American Communist Party were indicted on the charges of ‘harboring subversive thoughts’ and ‘reading disloyal literature’. A subversive thought? Can anyone define that for me? And who gets to decide what is ‘disloyal literature’? Scary!
The government recently requested the identities of the people buying books on Amazon. Amazon refused and the courts decided in their favor. But, 1984 seems right around the corner.
ReplyDeleteYes, the parallels are...scary.
