Read "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand.

Great book, highly suggested! I've been re-reading 1984 during the last week or so. It's hard to believe that there is already a "Thought Crime" bill which was passed -- HR 1955

you should check out aldous huxleys brave new world... a totally opposite view of the future(at the time it was written)
Huxley was a bit condascending to arwell about 1984, comlimenting the book oin being really good, and then saying afterward that he really thinks things are actually more more likely to turn out how he said win brave new world... OI was watching a documentary about old school scio-fci/fantasy genres and the Utopia/Distopia theme whch was common-for good reason in the time that the works of huxley and later orwell were written...
Now I ask you this..

Agree'd.

Another good one is RebelFire: Out of the Gray Zone - An up and coming series - It's a quick and easy read.

Not a good bill, Kirby. It relays on the government to determine what is "radical thought". Ron Paul supporters would be in trouble(potentially). It was proposed by Harmon, D-California. Common ground, Kirby. It is a bad proposed bill. Let's hope better heads prevail.

Not only that, but when you read the bill, you see the vague use of 'violence' - Dictionary.com:
5. rough or immoderate vehemence, as of feeling or language: the violence of his hatred.
6. damage through distortion or unwarranted alteration: to do editorial violence to a text.
