In George Orwell's 1984, a bleak picture of the world is painted.
Government changes history as it sees fit and history fluctuates with every passing day.
The main character of the story feels like a cog in a huge machine. Now think about the USA today. We never get a clear story on what happens on political matters. In a democracy, do we not have right to know what our government is doing with public funds. Far to much of it is channeled into wasteful projects which have little or no relevance to the USA today, and are only instituted as a 'knee jerk' reaction to current events.
