That's easy.... you're too dull witted to be capable of surprise. What
little synaptic ability you do possess is stretched to the limit with
life support. If you diverted power to the critical thought processors
you'd asphyxiate in a matter of minutes.

You sure this is Orwell - the language doesnt sound like anything of
his I've ever read...been wondering for a few days now....

(Thanks for asking that, Andrew. I had wondered about it, too.)


Well..thats the nym used by the internet poster who wrote that. Its of
course not our George Orwell of 1984 fame.

Then shouldn't be distinguished as such? Try "Usenet George Orwell" or
"Another George Orwell" to attribute his quotes.


He wrote a far different but equally true statement....

THAT RIFLE HANGING ON THE WALL OF THE WORKING-CLASS FLAT OR LABOURER'S
COTTAGE IS THE SYMBOL OF DEMOCRACY. IT IS OUR JOB TO SEE THAT IT STAYS

The aim of untold millions is to be free to do exactly as they choose
and for someone else to pay when things go wrong.

Isn't that the Democrat (and now Republican) credo?


In the past few decades, a peculiar and distinctive psychology
has emerged in England. Gone are the civility, sturdy independence,
and admirable stoicism that carried the English through the war years
. It has been replaced by a constant whine of excuses, complaints,
and special pleading. The collapse of the British character has been
as swift and complete as the collapse of British power.

Theodore Dalrymple,

We're following right on their heels if the whine is any indication.
