"When did the future switch from being a promise to being a threat?"

Chuck Palahniuk

I’ve never really kept a journal before, but I’ve realized lately…I need to start. My world is changing, and I need some proof that it wasn’t always like this. It used to be more sane. Every day things are changing. One thing I’ve noticed most: the police are changing. They're calling themselves Agents, and the military is starting to join with them… Everyone's saying there's nothing to worry about though, so I'm hoping it will be okay. Still….I'm worried. With all of this new technology, and with a military police force, who knows what could happen? What if they stage a coup or something? Where would that leave us? The gap between the upper class and everyone else is getting bigger each year, and everyone knows you have to be rich to get into the police. Or any decent job, for that matter, unless you're lucky. Unless you know people. If the rich people are in charge, who’s to say they won’t just completely abandon everyone else? All I know is that this won't lead to anything good. The future isn't looking bright.
