Excellent. Just excellent. Thanks for posting that.

I agree, great quote. How could George Orwell predict the future long before 1984?

Telling the truth is a lost art. My favorite is Nigel Farage who is part of the European Parliament. I don't know all of the pre-history, but I am sure the Parliament does not like it whe he speaks the truth:

The Euro Game Is Up! Just who the hell do you think you are?

I am speechless, having heard of Nigel the first time in my life. Thanks Frank, you made my day a pleasant one.

This made me think about the Orwell vs. Huxley comparison
