Demolition Man, Fiction or Non-Fiction?

I know this an old film. But I just wanted to spark up something friends and I always thought of this movie.

That maybe it was a very subtle conscientious movie that was cloaked in a big action fun filled blockbuster. It had it's big action scenes, comical situations and stuff. But it habd the underlying fact of a society of people that lived in a very caged world, disguised as laws meant to "protect them due to sacrificing their freedoms and their very natures"

It was illegal to
Swear
Eat foods that are unhealthy for you
could not have sex or any bodily fluids passed from one person to the next

And that the world had also succumbed to a monopoly due to a franchise war that had been fought decades ago.

Friends and I keep saying it for years, watch this film slowly become a reality. One friend of mine got fined for saying sh!t when her purse strap broke in a mall and her contents fell out. She did say the profanity near some kids, and the mother looked horrified. And there was a cop that was shopping, and he gave her a citation for indescent conduct around minorities. WTH?

And then you have the monopolizing monarch going on with the phone and cable companies AT&T and Comcast. How long will it be before you have to get xm satelite radio to listen to anykind of a radio station. You know what that means when the bigger companies squish out the competition. It means they can start to charge outrageous prices for their products and services.

So, any of you ever noticed this movie's little subtle messages becoming true for you? Or do you just like the movie, or hate it?

Think there will be a time when there will be a station that plays nothing but commercial songs? I have a local kids station nearby me that plays the introduction themes to popular tv shows and cartoons! Funny, huh!
