New Stimulus Package - Big Brother or MallCity?

Shaun just sent in an article he is really fired up about from Natural News: He equates it to
MallCity plain and simple, and with this - well you have to give him his dues. Here is why.

Straight from the article:

• The new $800 billion economic stimulus bill contains some striking new "Big Brother" health care language that should give pause to all freedom-loving Americans. For starters, the bill requires the electronic tracking of the medical records of all Americans. All your private medical data will be stored in a government database, including your history of disease, pharmaceutical treatments, surgeries and even emergency room visits.

Whoooooooooh! How did this slide through huh? Now I am not naive here, anyone who has had anything medical done with the funding from the government HAS to know that there is some sort of government record kept. But this is a would different coat of paint.... this is everyone!

Want more?

• All U.S. doctors will now be stripped of autonomy and forced to follow the medical treatment guidelines dictated by the government.

HUH? WTF! oh and deviation means being penalized by the government! Now 1984 is maybe a stretch but I think not, but it SURE is another dead on hit by Dr. Saunders and MallCity.

If you think I am making this up, just check out the article...yeah it might be a bit to the right, but it's EXACTLY what Shaun predicted would happen.

monochrom's "Kiki and Bubu and The Privilege"

OMG are you ready to laugh so hard you might break something? Let's experience monochrom's Kiki and Bubu. This little piece of sock puppet animation is brilliant. In a little over 5 minutes these chain stitched loonies deconstruct Orwell's 1984. Right from the start Bubu states that "These liberals gave me a book to read, and threaten to beat me up if I didn't!" to speculation of the chances of the Internet containing instances of sexuality and being attacked by porn monsters.... and finally a logic trail that concludes that surveillance is a privilege of a class society and the liberals that foisted the book on Bubu might not be aware of this being too much like the people in the book. Oh my, I think I separated a rib or two.
