So 2009 is the 60th anniversery of a book published in 1949 about 1984.

The sequel (1985) was better.

It's fortunate and unfortunate that this novel was published. Fortunate because it warned us in advance that not only that what was written was possible, but it was already happening. Unfortunate, because it made a perfect blueprint for how it might happen.

The same could be said for Terminator 2: Judgement Day, but it doesn't look like we're heeding those warnings either.

The mistake is to think that we're just now becoming Oceania under the "latest" socialist regime. If you read your history books, Bush Jr was much more left of center on a whole lot of issues than JFK was. And it goes back a whole lot further than that on both sides.

Here's hoping when they reach he inevitable conclusion of this, we look more like "Brave New World" than "Nineteen Eighty Four".

or season three of Babylon 5, mind you that would be hopeful

"Slow moving and hard to follow. Not nearly as good as it should have been. Just go read the book instead."

Or...if you can't read, just watch CNN or say something negative about Obama in school.

But of course you have no problems with hypocrite extraordinnaire & disgraced Democrat Elliot Spitzer, right? Champion of morality and rightousness, just another Democrat who can't keep it in his pants. I've always supported gay rights, so sorry to take that issue away from your arsenal of assininess.
