Little Brother (Part 5)

     Marcus has many opinions that he voices aloud to the general public in his school in what I read today. He began a debate in his class about whether or not the Yippies had the right to do what they did. Marcus says that the Yippies did have the right to protest their government. Many of the kids in Marcus's class protest against the Yippies, and a few speak out openly against what the Yippies did. What I find significant here is that Marcus seems to want to do what the Yippies did. 

     I don't think Marcus is approaching the situation in an intelligent way. He could be talking to the police, who weren't involved. He could bring the situation to court. He could sue. But Marcus believes that the older people are oblivious and don't understand what's going on. He believes that the police are in league with Homeland Security. They might be, but the police could respect the rights of the people. 

     I believe that Marcus could be going overboard with two secret internet services and secret rendezvous and all of the secrecy. His parents don't even have an inkling. Marcus is getting friendly with people who could either greatly help him or hurt him, such as Ange (who is a huge free-thinker), and I still don't believe that Marcus knows exactly how huge an issue he's diving head-first into.
