It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander

"It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself--anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face...; was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime..." - George Orwell, 1984



This came to mind after seeing several stories like this http://www.greenisthenewred.com/blog/fb ... -act/5440/

So if I complain about my bank will I be on a list?
