What if, in fact, we are not free men, but only numbers?

I am Number 6.

that's why there's guns, and men who'll teach you how to use them EFFECTIVELY, make cans, etc. Big Brother doesn't want to have to live in a bunker, wearing a gas mask to sleep in, travel in a tank, etc.

you need to stick to threads where you know what's being discussed.

All the references here are based on a certain TV series.

Be seeing you.

so what, punk? the POINT is tyrants, and resisting same effectively, instead of being plucked like a chicken and and hoping that Big Brother lets you go later.

There are subtle ways to resist. Number 6 didn't play the tough con and cell warrior; he was cool. Your resistance won't last 5 minutes before they kill you or turn you into a vegetable just to shut you up.

andy, "Big Brother" was from a book entitled '1984', written by George Orwell.
'The Prisoner' was a television show on BBC [some episodes were aired on CBS in the US] which premiered in 1967. It was written by, and starred, Patrick McGoohan.

"The Prisoner's Dilemma", by Jonathan Blum and Rupert Booth is, actually, first in a new series on novels based on McGoohan's work.
