Mark Twain’s classic novel, __Adventure of Huckleberry Finn,__ is a book of many meanings. There have been many interpretations of the author’s deeper connotation of the story. Thus, there have been many ideals that have been discovered to have been used by Mark Twain in his writing. One ideal was the thought of getting information through concealing one’s true identity. Huck dressed as a girl and changed his name to Sarah Williams. Then when caught, he would even continue to lie by claiming his alias as a runaway farmer’s apprentice by the name of George Peters. Now, in present day United States, the same is going on. This type of fibbing of identity is better known as spying.

President George Bush, and his administration, has been spying on their own citizens. They have been hacking into chat rooms, and listening in on phone conversations. The only reason they give to the public is to prevent terrorism. This breech in privacy will not stop there. The Bush administrative will have people turning against their own neighbors. George Bush wants one in twenty-four citizens to become spies for the government. Meaning they will be leaking information of their friends, and any other local happenings. Is this fair of President Bush to do?

Terrorism has only been used as a cover story for the government’s true intentions. The United States steps closer to totalitarianism with each enforcing order President Bush makes. There is a solution to this catastrophe that is underway. The simple procedure will be to leak false information. This will elude the government from truly knowing what the people do. As to nullify the wire tapping that is already being done, the same must be done. All citizens must partake in an action of farce. The charade will make the government believe in something that is totally unreal. Almost like creating an alternate reality, veiling the truth with more and more lies. The public will once again receive some privacy.

This new alternate reality will be based only through communication. All websites that give profiles will have to have different aliases. Phone conversations will have to be of a plot that has been planned out between associations of friends who will agree on the same subject to speak about. The chat rooms will be filled with gibberish. The larger complexity will be becoming spies. Those who would be drafted must swear a pact that they will agree to tell lies. Whatever has happened in local areas will not be reported by those inside spies. At least one person per neighborhood will have to give false information directly to the authorities, unlike the rest who are doing it indirectly via communication devices, rather than in person. This plan is fully secure without fail.

What will become of the people’s lives? President Bush will become utterly confused by so many different stories. Citizens will have to revert back to a time where there were no other types of conversations than only talking. Even writing will be found out by the government. Notes and letters will not be able to be written. The public will become isolated from the government. Eventually, all will be caught on by the George Bush administrative counsel. Hence all citizens will be considered terrorist, rather than just having a suspicion of being one. The United States military will then become hostile to the public. Thereof the people, not being able to fight back, will be conquered. A new nation will be born. Laws will have to be re-written. The United States will be reborn. All nightmares will come to the end. The best part being that, after all this, the presidential reign will end, and George Bush will no longer be able to be president, since he has been in office for eight years, and there will be a new president in office.
