I'm on the last 20 pages and I have over an hour left at work. So it's gonna be done soon.<BR/><BR/>This post will have more added to it probably in a second post so it doesn't get lost in the discussion shuffle.Paul Tsikitashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11300565920537311161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18059021.post-1157585495654105312006-09-06T19:31:00.000-04:002006-09-06T19:31:00.000-04:00Still have to read that book...

Rambling + Open Forums = Philosophy. I i...NO no no. Rambling + Open Forums = Philosophy. I insist. I don't think Brave New World is any more extreme than 1984. It is pretty ridiculous how ahead of its time it is. I think in another 40 years, Brave New World will be even more pertinent than 1984. It's crazy all the things Huxley says.<BR/><BR/>I love Satire for this reason. Just like Strangelove gets better every passing year, it makes so much sense.Paul Tsikitashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11300565920537311161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18059021.post-1157506082297362232006-09-05T21:28:00.000-04:002006-09-05T21:28:00.000-04:00Y'know, as I was explaining Brazil to my sweet lad...Y'know, as I was explaining Brazil to my sweet lady, and thinking abotu that and 1984... I mean, isn't it even more appropriate today? Watching that for the first time in post-911 society was mesmerizing. It's even more apt today than it was 20 years ago. Or 80, for the book. Frightening. Brave New World is a little more extreme in some ways, but still... Daily Show pointed out some doublespeak from the govt. last week... it was exactly as Big Brother did it...<BR/><BR/>sorry, I'm ramblingleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14129854416426025345noreply@blogger.com
