I remember in the 70's when I read Fahrenheit 451 how I scoffed at it. THAT could never happen. I was so naïve...

I read all of the classic scifi dystopian books as a yute in the late 50s/early 60s.

I saw no reason at the time why things couldn’t morph into those futures.

I had just ready the story for the first time, so it's more of an after-the-fact for me. Like I said, some of the words leapt straight out of the page like something from modern news headlines.

Of course, only ten years ago I would be scoffing at it just like you did. The moral of the story: never underestimate the insanity leftists will unleash upon society.
