People in many countries are able to coordinate their activities, especially demonstrations, using cell phones, twitter, facebook, etc. Governments know this - and hate it. So the government in San Francisco, as you can read here, decided to cut power to cell phone towers so it would be more difficult for people to plan their demonstration. This is just the beginning. In the future, the federal government will do the same, and also go so far as to shut down the internet in the interests of "security" and to hinder "terrorism." Time to watch V for Vendetta again. As V said in the movie: "There's something terribly wrong with this country."
In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

Now you don't have to rent . . .
V for Vendetta, the movie that depicts the future of England, which has become a police state with curfews, cameras, and the omnipotent state. Now, you can just move to England and soon experience it first hand, as you can read here in this article.
Well, you might want to rent it anyway, since Natalie Portman has one of the most perfect faces on the planet. Poor Brits, about the only place they'll be safe and unwatched is the soccer stadium.
