Did you even bother to read the first 7/8 of my last post?

[BigSkyFreeper]

What are you saying here?

I'm saying I find it odd that someone is offended by the truth.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Did you even bother to read the first 7/8 of my last post?

All that stuff you made up? No.

[rottndog]

If you can't answer the questions just say so.

[claudiustg]

---Sure he does.---

"Ignorance Is Strength"

[BigSkyFreeper]

If you can't answer the questions just say so.

I did answer it.

[BigSkyFreeper]

"Ignorance Is Strength"

"There you go again".

[claudiustg]

"Freedom Is Slavery"

1984

[rottndog]

I did answer it.

OK. It's late, and maybe I missed your answer, so I will repeat the question.

What's Bush's plan to FIX the BORDER?

[BigSkyFreeper]

so I will repeat the question.

You didn't ask a question, you made a statement.

It's late

Obviously.

[rottndog]

such good contortionism can only come from a politician...what elective office do you hold?

[BigSkyFreeper]

what elective office do you hold?

Your Utilities Commissioner.

We must all learn Newspeak, Repeat after me!

---There is a rhyme about the cafe that re-occurs throughout the book:

Under the spreading chestnut tree
I sold you and you sold me
There lie they, and here lie we
Under the spreading chestnut tree

This is most likely a "Newspeak Translation" of Longfellow's original poem, The Village Blacksmith
Under a spreading chestnut-tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, a mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.---

[rottndog]

Your Utilities Commissioner.

I think I'll switch to solar...

[claudiustg]

Later.

[rottndog]

g'nite.

Just one more, a great passage out of 1984:

"To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself. That was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involved the use of doublethink.'

I hope our world does not end up like George Orwell "1984"

[rottndog]

It's not looking good from where I'm sitting.....

[garbageseeker]

Maybe I am being too optimistic. I agree
