I really want to watch V for Vendetta, and I'll give it a review when I do (I, too, have never actually read the novel), but I just wanted to dive in for a quick comment on this - I don't think either side ought to be afraid. Respecting, certainly, but both ways, please; and by golly, if the government was afraid of the people, then it would never dare do the more unpopular, but neccessary things. So yeah. The quote irked me and I had to get that off my chest.
(Agreed that the first sentence holds 100% truth, though.)
Thread digressing! I'll be good now
