And always remember.... you CAN'T roller skate in a buffalo herd. Some things will always remain the same. Fifty years from now, if the Golden Billion and the BRICS do not go to war, we will still be hearing that the ice caps are melting and the world is ending in ten years.
Great one Michael. To put it succinctly, there was a point to the torture and accepting 2+2=5: you must come to love Big Brother, which in the end, Winston did. It goes beyond simple capitulation - they want not only acceptance, but approval and celebration.
I do not believe I know of a more fitting description of the left than this passage (though this exists not only on the left, it certainly is the prevailing position of those who align themselves with the left):
"And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them." - Rom. 1:28-32
Happy Thanksgiving Day, Michael.
