1984

If you have not read the classic 1984 then you must do so. It is a quick read that will scare the pants off of you, or at least it should. Government begins to rule every aspect of the people in that society so that if they are out of line, even from the dumbest of laws, they will be punished.
However, I came across the above ad. I do not know how old it is, nor do I care.

In light of the Katrina fiasco I think it odd that this exists with the more than apparent reality that people are longing to be dependent on government and will believe anything they are told from the media.
