1984 Blog:


1984 is an interesting book. After reading A Brave New World you start to gain a feeling for what authors of the time period were trying to accomplish (Fahrenheight 451 as well). The thought police is an interesting and disgusting concept. It reminds me of the wire taping the government was caught doing in this country. The patriot act is the closest this country has come to killing our freedoms and we just seem to be getting closer. It is rediculous that some politicians just signed the damn thing and didn't even read the fine print!!!!!!! If we keep going in this direction, we could end up just like this society. We seem to already. Look at the current administration. They seem to rule everything with an iron fist and what they say, goes. This elitest social order that we are building larger and larger by the day is only gonna kill us in the end. Soon, no freedoms or liberties will be left because we will have to "watch for those wanting to hurt us". I myself, would rather have some independance than be watched constantly. 1894? More like 2020 if things go the way they are. I also enjoyed the "Ministry of Peace" and the "Ministry of Love" refrences, being the exact opposite as they imply. It is a true tale of the political twist this modern world puts on nearly everything it can get it's grubby little hands on. Oh, what a sad sad world.
