Hey - The Democratic Party platform...

Great list! I just take exception with #28.

Why 52 lessons? Youn only need one to learn PC:

"The rules of the Inner Party are held together by adherence to a common doctrine. In a Party member not even the smallest deviation of opinion on the most unimportant subject can be tolerated. But it is also necessary to remember that events happened in the desired manner. And if it is necessary to rearrange one's memories or to tamper with written records, then it is necessary to forget that one has done so. The trick of doing this can be learned like any other mental technique. It is learned by the majority of Party members, and certainly by all who are intelligent as well as orthodox. In Oldspeak it is called, quite frankly, "reality control." In Newspeak, it is called doublethink, though doublethink comprises much else as well."

Indeed, it IS the Democratic Party Platform, exactly as Orwell described!

After all, who knows least about defanging a sadistic, ruthless demagogue like Saddam Hussein than the beloved poets of our universities and campus coffee houses? Having spent most their existence bitchily critiquing each other's empty narcissistic ravings in insular creative-writing seminars in university classrooms across the nation, and cranking out their empty bluster in "little" literary magazines with big names that no-one ever reads, these bards for peace have accumulated a lifetime of experience that has prepared them for doing absoutely nothing of any practical value, except to apply for more literary grants and whine endlessly.

PRICELESS!! LOL!
