To solve America's impending doom, we need to solve the 1984 problem. How can we escape a totalitarian democratic government?

We were in a Brave New World era (during the 1940s-1960s), but are heading dead smack into 1984.

My SO and I haven't come to an opinion about the 1984 syndrome. We don't know how a democratic populace could voluntarily undergo a revolution against an ultra-conservative capitalistic republic.

There has to be a solution, though. I feel it in my bones. Just need to figure out what parameters exist, how social groups react to crucial, acute political and cultural change.

I'm not so convinced a revolution is needed. A lot of people are keeping an eye on the Shrub. They're quiet right now, but their voices grow as September 11 fades further and further into the past. The Shrub cannot ride that wave forever: It didn't work for his daddy with the Gulf War, and it won't work here. Give it time, and keep an ear open. Know who your allies are for when the right time comes.
