The Surveillance State

"Mr. Johnson, reports indicate that you're dissatisfied with the leadership in Washington."
"That's ridiculous!"
"Are you claiming that our agents are lying?"
"Not lying, but maybe they're mistaken?"
"Here is a video of you stating the aforementioned subversive comments."
"Oh, that was just a joke! Ha ha!"
"We didn't find it funny, Mr. Johnson. This is your third offense, you know."
"I apologize. I'll never say anything like that again, I promise."
"It's too late for that, Mr. Johnson. You're scheduled for reeducation. It's not that bad, though."
"No?"
"No. The weather in Guantanamo is lovely this time of year."
