I've slacked off the last day or so. I think I posted on Saturday or something. Not much to catch up on.
I started reading 1984, so far I have really liked the book. There are a lot of parallels to today's world. The ones in power now wouldn't go that far, but in the prior eight years, it was very much going that way. Just imagine living in a world where your thoughts are monitored, and you can't as so much mention or think overthrowing the government. I've only just started getting into it, but so far so good. The next move would be to see the movie, I saw part of it a while back, and it confused the hell out of me, then again it had started an half hour earlier, so that is a big proponent to me not knowing what was going on.
The book is great fiction, but the human is too much of a free thinker to be restrained like that. To have such a large empire as they describe in the book and to be in an oppressive control like that, eventually the people will up-rise in such numbers that you would not be able to stop them. If it were to happen in a larger area like all of Europe and meanwhile the rest of the world as it, I think you might be able to maintain such oppressive order. That's why it is fiction, and I can see why so many bands I like are influenced by this book. I like fictional realism, it makes connection that much easier.
I had a lot more here, but this fucking website didn't save it, so I lost what I said. I don't feel like retyping it.
