Rational Thought 1, Big Brother 0?

The White House has killed flag@whitehouse.gov

It's amazing it took so long. The President asked people to report anything "fishy" related to health care. It seemed like a terrible idea and another example of Obama's resemblance to the government in the book Nineteen Eighty-Four.

At least it gave us something else to talk about for the next two weeks.

But now the email address is dead. R.I.P.

No kidding. It's one of those stupid things that seem to be there only to annoy those who want to protect their rights. Anyway, I get your point about having something to talk about. Obama's ignorance gets old, so flag@whitehouse.gov provided good fuel for conversation. I'm almost sad to see it go. ALMOST.

don't worry, he'll do something else really stupid soon and we will have even more to talk about.

Thanks for checking out the blog!

I just finished reading 1984 and that was exactly my thought when I heard about this issue. It's the Thought Police and Thought Crime, and only 15 years later than Orwell suggested.

25 years, but whatever :)
