re: #419 Walter L. Newton

No character in “1984” recanted anything. After a visit to the Ministry of Love, and a few sessions in Room 101, they 100 percent believed, they honestly couldn’t understand how they could have had ANY other opinion or thought. That’s way beyond recanting… stop using “1984” as some analogy to what you perceive is going on in our world. There is no comparison.

If and when “1984” get here, you’ll know it, and it won’t be like anything you have ever experienced before.

Good point. Sometimes I misuse the book in that fashion. And I had forgotten for a moment that you were around, you who had adapted the book for the stage. Sorry for the error. I should have used a more direct condemnation of the contempt for others and for the truth shown by tyrants and their lackeys.
