My daughter is in college. After the election the liberal prof went on a depressing rant about Trump, and then thought it would be good to go around the class and have all the students say what they were thankful and happy about.
“Lasagana”
“My dog”
“My family”
“The mountains”
“Well, I’m thankful and happy that Trump won last night.” (Gasps from several of the girls, and the profs jaw dropped).
“Yeah - it was pretty funny dad. Except after hearing ‘lasagna’ I thought that would have been a good one too.”
This is an important post to read.
“When you said that, I am reminded of the scene from Orwell’s 1984...”
Can you believe books like 1984 and Atlas Shrugged, for example, have existed for decades, and yet our politicians just keep blundering into the same scenarios in real life!?!?
What is really frightening is that it appears they aren’t blundering into the same scenarios, but are instead deliberately entering them.
And appear to be using books like 1984 and Atlas Shrugged as manuals rather than cautionary tales. It is astonishing.
It is one of the reasons (for me) that Atlas Shrugged resonates. An act like the “Anti Dog-Eat-Dog Act” doesn’t look as completely stupid and outlandish as it is, because it seems like we have enacted legislation that makes something like that look like a foregone conclusion.
Thank you for posting this!
A great - and informative - read.
