@ccm800 Yes I read it quite a bit along with "Politics and the English Language". And every time I take my first Adderall from my new prescription...it was a promise that I made to God.

Anyone read David Sirota's piece where he references Jay Rosen entitled Taibbi's Blasphemy Against the Chruch of the Savvy. Tom Wolfe also covers similar ground in "Bonfire of the Vanities" when his character notes he doesn't want to appear "low-rent" for thinking a certain way.

Does ANYONE read 1984 anymore. Wake up people - most of us have completely given up their ability to think.
