Nice literary turn! Orwell would have been pleased.
The sad part is, we are already seeing Orweilian language and syntax being used by the mainstream media, if not overtly, certainly in the insinuative sense. For exampple:
HATE SPEECH and conservativism? THOUGHT CRIME.
Democrats in "charge"? DOUBLE-PLUS GOOD!
They charge Republicans with being "fascists", but THEY'RE the ones who want total control, THEY'RE the ones who WORSHIP THE STATE and all it stands for. They're the ones who disrespect the individual person (abortion) and only see someone in terms of their place in the "collective". So the only "rights" a person has are the ones 9 liberal members of a Supreme Court "gives them" (and can take away). THEY'RE the TOTALITARIANS !
I've lived in coastal areas all my life, Virgina Beach Va., Hatteras N.C., and now Destin Fl., local officials in everyone of these places have ALWAYS stated when they issue evacuation orders, that, if you decide to ride out the storm you SHOULD have at least enough supplies to get you through at least 1 WEEK, until help arrives.
This is just as important as having proper insurance to help cover all the expenses to get by and rebuild afterwards.
Living in coastal hurricane prone areas, you MUST assume the responsibilities associated and be ready to care of number one, yourself and family, period.
Or it will be used to buttress the cries of "the FEDERAL government should have done something because the state and local governments already 'admitted' they couldn't."
Damn Oceania. Hang their King and burn his boats.
Oh.. wrong thread.
