instituted among Men, deriving their Powers from the Consent of
the Governed, that Whenever any form of Government becomes

Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to
provide new Guards for their future Security."
--Thomas Jefferson, The Declaration of Independence

years the Thought Police had watched him like a beetle under a
magnifying glass. There was no physical act, no word spoken aloud,
that they had not noticed, no train of thought that they had not
been able to infer."
-'1984,' Orwell.
