And his parents dont even KNOW what has happened and that he wants to take action against them. <br />So who DO we know that are actually on his side?CourtneyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06140452384640643439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8354010924661943699.post-50175538876713027452010-01-19T11:31:15.624-07:002010-01-19T11:31:15.624-07:00@ Matt; I think we are to a certain extent.

It feels like this is the exact opposite of what we want in a society, and in our own government. This is much different than what I think America was supposed to be. We are not suppose to be stealing peoples freedom, we should be helping people with rights.rileywhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06711669018522124509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8354010924661943699.post-9687474321106980222010-01-19T11:26:02.015-07:002010-01-19T11:26:02.015-07:00I agree, Winston and Marcus are in entirely differ...I agree, Winston and Marcus are in entirely different situations.Shaffer D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10389831897818249295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8354010924661943699.post-64592174481653029392010-01-19T11:24:55.595-07:002010-01-19T11:24:55.595-07:00Marcus can influence many people because he has th...Marcus can influence many people because he has the technology and he knows how to use it, whereas Winston didn't really have any resources to try to influence people.LauraDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622249644397979788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8354010924661943699.post-82681516546968794862010-01-19T11:24:37.659-07:002010-01-19T11:24:37.659-07:00I wonder if he can really get away with sabotoshin...I wonder if he can really get away with sabotoshing the goverment? I am positive that the goverment has ways to track and watch him, and will find ways to bring him down if he tries to mess with them like he's planning on doing so. On the same point, I think that there ARE loop holes, so maybe the goverment wont be able to see EVERYTHING that marcus will do. but marcus will probably slip up and do somehting that will lead them to find out all the rest.CourtneyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06140452384640643439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8354010924661943699.post-12351752078033857372010-01-19T11:24:37.122-07:002010-01-19T11:24:37.122-07:00I agree with Casey.
