Modern Security

These new systems are very different from what i was used to. There's so much open space. So much... privacy. Their government is so carefree. The security is pretty dry. There are some tightly secure places such as airports, with cameras and "TSA". Schools and stores also have cameras, as well as security guards. But they don't "watch" us. They just have it in case anything happens. There's so much trust in these people....and on the streets there are traffic cameras here and there, but nothing real. Anything could happen. It slightly frightens me. There aren't any telescreens, or thought police. Best of all, no Big Brother. What has the world come to? Something different, something better but also worse. We're so free. They dont punish us for thinking or feeling how we want.We can love of hate one another. We can disagree with our leaders. .

This Darn System..

Of course I dont exactly agree with the party. They think that they know best for everyone and everything. Controlling everyone by telling them that they're  "Watching ". And those slogans, those slogans are so stupid. War is NOT peace.Freedom is NOT slavery. Ignorance is NOT strength. Lies. They're all lies.They' re watching? Are they? Maybe. Probably not. Winston and I stay away from  those telescreens anyway. The Party wouldn't approve of our relationship, and if they actually are watching, we just might get caught, and be in big trouble. But we dont care. We are caught up in our love affair. We will overcome this. I think we have the power. Someone needs to make a change..
