I wish Big Brother would go away and let me shoot my guns, smoke my cigarettes, discipline my kid, and go about my business.
That's the sad part. The next generation won't even miss going to the gate to welcome someone off the airplane, going to school without walking through a metal detector, watching TV with the family without seeing a decapitation or rape or something, or even going to summer camp without fear of being diddled by one of the counselors. They'll have never experienced it. That's really weird to think about.
