Yes indeed. Which side of the looking glass do they think we are?
"The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it." Karl Marx

"He would, wouldn't he?" Mandy Rice-Davies. When asked in court whether she knew that Lord Astor had denied having sex with her.

“I think it would be a good idea” Ghandi, when asked about Western Civilisation.

I reckon we're at least a full Almost-Orwell and a half.....absolute minimum!::computerpunch::
And anything more than 1.5 Almost-Orwells = a Full Orwell!
I think the Almost-Orwell makes a great unit of measure.
How many Almost-Orwells does it take to make an almost full-out Almost-Orwellian police-state?
I think we're almost not in Kansas any more Toto! :Confusedhock:: Perhaps the Mad Hatter's Electronic Surveillance Tea Party......::willynilly::

"Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience! People are obedient in the face of poverty, starvation, stupidity, war, and cruelty. Our problem is that grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem!" - Howard Zinn
