thrig writes "I was wondering the feasibility of setting up an "Orwellian Clock," similar to the "Armageddon Clock" which arrived shortly after Nuclear Devices showed up on the scene. That way, eroded rights could be tracked, as we (possibly) march towards the vision set forth in 1984... " I like it. Considering that none - none - of the U.S. Presidential candidates are running on any sort of liberty-enhancing platform, it's only going to get worse. The 12 o'clock position would, of course, be occupied by "1984". Anyone up to the challenge?

In true 1984 style, it should be the 13 o'clock position of course (we're already at 12 o'clock).

It would have to be done by an organization which gets media notice, otherwise no-one will care.
Also, avoid the always-one-minute-before-doom syndrome.
