In the spirit of full disclosure, this is an excerpt from a docudrama about George Orwell, author of the dystopian novel "1984". However, the sentiment expressed may seem frightfully accurate. It does to me. Do you see the similarity with the prediction ascribed to Orwell and the world in which we find ourselves living today? Does political correctness seem like "Newspeak" as envisioned by Orwell? Does the decline in birthrates, so severe that some populations are disappearing, give credence to his prediction of the diminution of sex and the orgasm? Are We the People surrendering the liberties the we who served fought to preserve?

Thanks CPT Jack Durish ! Very sobering, saddening. We need to continue to fight for Liberty as a necessary principle, balanced against Equality as defined by the Party. Individual Liberty, and the right to be left alone to seek your own life, is vital to being human.
