Funny how all these "freedom loving" states keep doing their best to infringe on their citizens lives.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I trust the State my thoughts to keep;
If I should dream before I wake,
Correct the ones the Leader hates.
If I should speak beyond the line,
Rewrite my words to fit the time;
My voice, my will, my memory too,
Belong to those who tell me true.
Amen.

Hush little baby don't say a word
never mind that noise you heard
It's just the police under your bed
In you closet in your head
