The doors been wide open for years, seems like their rummaging through the refrigerator now.
They've also been voyeuring bedrooms, looking over what books we chose to put on our shelves, and many other things making me thing Big Brother doesn't need to stinkin' chips. But I love Big Brother.
Said it before, will say it again, I wish everyone would re-read 1984, or if too busy just rent the film version put out in 1984 (Richard Burton and others).
Aye! it'll shiver the timbers of all whether left, right, north or southerly.
