I dunno if many of you read, but if you want something scary real, get you a copy The Hunger Games. You'll have to ignore the sci fi parts and just look at the meaning of the book. I read them yesterday and it gave me goose bumps.
If you've already read it here are my thoughts on how reality lines up with the book
Citizens are not allowed weapons of any sort.
Government is in complete control of food supplies, medical, electricity, and basic life staples. The book also says that hunting is forbidden, punishable by death.
Each district (state in reality) lives inside a fence, and if you step outside that fence then it's punishable by death or public whipping. This makes me think of the "immigrant fence" going up in the border states.
What are y'all's thoughts?

Why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as a king can!

Thanks, but did you understand where I was going with how the world is today, versus where the book is coming from? Seems to me like it was written as a warning. |

Actually there was mention of huntin boars. Great book. But the movie sucked. You did an awesome job explanation of the book
Thanks, but did you understand where I was going with how the world is today, versus where the book is coming from? Seems to me like it was written as a warning. Lol...so was "1984" Never heard of that one but I have a feeling you're callin me paranoid. I'm not. It was just surprising to me how the things line up. |

I like that movie Conspiracy Theory. He was a crazy conspiracy theorist and needed help but he was crazy. But the best part was that he was right the whole time. If you don't think there are conspiracies then you are the crazy one. I just hope most of them don't work out.
