Rutherford Institute founder John Whitehead quotes Professor Neil Postman to open his discourse on the loss of our freedoms, "Big Brother does not watch us, by his choice. We watch him, by ours. There is no need for wardens or gates or Ministries of Truth. When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; a culture-death is a clear possibility." Mr. Whitehead's recent article for the Rutherford Institute Dial T for Tyranny sounds the alarm as it breaks down the cold fact for all to hear that our civil liberties have been nullified.
