If you think Orwell was warning about this sort of stuff you didn't pay attention.
Orwell was a former Socialist who wrote 1984 in the wake of WWII to warn about the dangers of Socialism and how it inevitably leads to totalitarianism as it did it Europe.
Engsoc = ENGlish SOCialism.
If Orwell is turning over in his grave it's because of the constant march toward programs like universal health care despite nearly two centuries and 150 million dead examples of the foolishness of giving the government the ability to control the things you need to live. | |

But yeah our system where the level of medical care you receive is governed by how much your insurance pays or you can pay is so much better. | |

| doc causality was using a tongue in cheek way of saying how things have changed and you have to inject your neo conservative bull****. this site is censored and it is usually done to people who disagree with the hard right business approach to everything. this sort of post discredits dsl reports as does all the neo conservative, hard right commentary you allow here. if you don't edit this sort of nonsense stop editing the other point of view.
this is just plan stupid and you really show everyone who reads this post your IQ. unbelievable. | |

Harbor Springs, MI | Oh, I think I was paying attention. If you can't see ever increasing intrusive monitoring of our lives condoned by the government as a slippery slope toward totalitarianism, perhaps it is time you read the tome again, Winston. | |

| said by Doc Casualty :George Orwell must be turning over in his grave. Orwell doesn't have zip to do with this deal. I object to this deal simply because the FCC actually believes and approves mergers based on the fairy tale that industry "polices" itself. | |

Harbor Springs, MI | Re: 1984 I believe that is the FTC. Anyway, whether they believe in that "fairy tale" or are complicit is a matter of conjecture. My reference to Orwell would have zip to do with the former. | |
