My name is Benjamin Bongero, and I was told of my real father when I was around the age of 9-10. The where abouts of him have been unknown...until I got on this computer. My mother and I used to get calls,"silent calls", that i think were the verifacation that he may have had a son. My mom wrote to his family, wrote to him, and called 2-3 times, and he just denied it!
It seems as though he is ducking, and running from me...hmm. Now I am all grown up at an age of 17 and I'm ready to do this on my 18th birthday. It's sort of like a count down, you know? From the information that I have gathered already...He does'nt seem like he's doing well. I found out that he has moved around 4-5 times, IN THE LAST YEAR! It is beginning to worry me that I may not be able to meet him...ever!
Hes lived in Hartland,MI/South Lyon,MI/and the most recent, Garden City/MI! Which I live in Westland/MI. Close to home! Info I got:Thomas Alexander Kolodziejczak:age- 61:Garden City,unlisted and hiddin.HELP!

You always seem to know what's right
You always see the good in things
You can't see me though
You can't see how I'm feeling
You can't see your leaving me behind in a cloud of feelings of what's real
I need more
I need you
I need love
I need to know I am going to succeed
I need to know I am going to fail
I need to feel safe and not alone
I need to feel whats real

I've been searching for the past hour on the net and I simply can't find the image I'm after. I need a silhouette of a fox sitting, with it's tail wrapped around it's feet, facing forward. It's as simple as that and I just can't find it. I'm happy to tweak it a bit if it's not quite right but I'm not very good at drawing so need something to start with. I've looked at loads of clip art sites to no avail. I thought there was a clothing brand or some other company with this as their logo but can't find it. Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Having ready many books (both fiction and non-fiction) on totalitarianism and distopias in general I'd like to know, where does it all end?

Let me explain.

Totalitarianism is generally a system of absolute power. Every author I have read in this field generally appears to support the thesis that totalitarianism is used by those who exercise it for personal emotional gain, that is, they enjoy the absolute power and dominance over others, and will continue to work towards achieving absolute power.

Winston Smith is told this at the end of 1984. In "WE" (Zamyatin) D503, after having undergone surgery, watches his former 'girlfriend' die slowly. A factual example would be the Nazi party, North Korea is another.

The question is, if this is a psychological illness/trait (is it?), what would happen if the person with this power were to reach a point where all his subjects (every one of them) were totally under control, where there was absolutely no possibility of deviant behaviour (in all of the fiction books I have read the possibility of deviant behaviour exists. In 1984 the epilogue actually makes reference to the fact that Big Brother's state was actually overcome in some way, because it refers to it in the past tense).

What would be left for the totalitarian in control to do in terms of satisfying urges of power? If the subjects had absolutely no way of dissenting (just imagine if the whole world were under control), how would this person go on? Surely merely torturing or abusing subjects in other ways would be meaningless, as there would be nothing left to suppress?

For me, it's the journey. We tend to learn the most when we're trying to achieve something or get somewhere - i.e. when we're not focused on learning.
