So after my wife and I's regular conversation about news articles we read today we debated weather our country and world are heading the way of Fahrenheit 451 or 1984, what is your take?

Which way is the planet headed any why do you believe that?

Those two books could be used as History books today, along with Slaughterhouse - 5. Some of those writers were very prescient.

Wow. I liked both books and movies. Hopefully not either but you can see some similarities. The resurgence of the Know-Nothing Movement that is the Basis of Faranheit 451 and I can appreciate the feeling of the "Big-Brother" thing but not nearly as intense as others since for all intents and purposes I was what everybody these days is calling "Big-Brother" Or to quote another another book "The Naval Security Group is the Navy Arm of the NSA" The Puzzle Palace by James Bamford. I retired from the Naval Security Group in 1997.
