Best get rid of all of them, as Ray Bradbury suggested in "Fahrenheit 451"--the book on which the movie was based, and which it self must obviously join Orwell on the bonfire. <br /><br />While you're at it, H.G.

I could think of a good many more...except that your party's wisdom persuades me there's no good in thinking, let alone speaking out, since that road only leads to surveillance, a security certificate, indefinite detention without trial, then a carefully-orchestrated show trial and a long spell in one of your shiny new prisons.<br /><br />Foolhardy but not brave enough for that,<br />JudythJudythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18231252035827675186noreply@blogger.com
