Great! You mean I can give up all my freedoms and privacy, have complete and
total surveillance over my entire life, camera's in my bedroom, a totalitarian
status quo dictating every thing I do - and I don't have to pay anything?! Wow,
you mean, they will even pay me for this?! That's great! I get to be a slave
to the corporations and the government and as a courtesy for my obedience
they'll even give me discounts on consumer goods! God, what a great time to be
alive!

Wow, I shouldn't panic about all this, because its only going to get worse!
This is such great news. Pretty soon they will even know what I'm thinking.
What a great society it's going to be - complete mind control over of all its
citizens. With nobody behaving or thinking outside of the status quo,
everything will become safe and cuddly. I can't wait! I won't have to worry or
even think about anything else every again. The nanny state is going to put me
into a cushy cocoon in which all my actions and thinking will be controlled by
them. Ahh, the bliss! Bring on the ID implants, the omni-surveillance, and
don't forget those great discounts!!!
