All I can say is that I have the utmost respect for anyone who had to live in those days. Back when the only way through was to convince the imperial gatekeepers how much of a perfect Stepford Wife/Husband you were inside and how much you hated all those sick perverted "->-bleeped-<-s" and "queers" and how you're nothing at all like them...
Kind of makes me wonder at what we can accomplish in another 30-40 years.
