Right. I agree with you fully. We do follow things blindly, and this book shows if those things are brought to the extreme, or maybe even less than the extreme, it may be a really scary future.
But really, the government tells you something--specifically--and you would just have to believe it to some extent. (Maybe not in the world we're living in now, but slowly and surely it may very well go in that direction, theoretically)
