This weekend I re-watched the movie “V for Vendetta,” a very interesting and timely film about a country living under a police state.
I imagine most have seen V for Vendetta. To refresh everyone’s memory…here’s an assorted audio collection of quotes from the movie.
This fourth viewing seemed even more relevant considering what could be viewed as recent Government encroachments upon individual freedoms in the name of safety, security and anti-terrorism.
A line from the movie has been playing over and over in my head:
“People should not be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of their people”
I sincerely doubt that our government has much fear of us, it’s citizens, these days but more and more of us are finding reasons to fear it.
We need to pay attention to this upcoming presidential election.

I couldn’t agree with you more. This is a very important election.
