Funny about this. I was looking for a screen shot from the movie "Brazil" of a government poster that reads, "Don't Suspect A Friend, Report Him!"

So I hunted around on google images for a while and the few links that I thought looked hopeful took me to....removed Facebook pages.

Ha! Imagine that.

Anyway, the whole theme for me is how citizenship is becoming "virtual" and how easily one can become marginalized, a "non-person," as it were. Of course, as another poster pointed out, Facebook's (and hence, this generation's) definition of "friend" is woefully inadequate. Pity them.

Let's see if I can find one about the "Ministry of Information..."

FB friends remind me a scene in the Dead Zone. Walkin’s character let’s his doctor know that his mother is still alive and survived Nazi extermination. The doctor looks her up, calls her, and when he hears her voice he hangs up the phone. Explanation was “it was never meant to be.” That’s what FB friends are like.
