I think you mean Nineteen Eighty-Four. To quote Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves To Death: "What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who would want to read one." The people of Brave New World were so fully occupied with ephemeral pleasures like the drug soma, and mass entertainment like the feelies, that speech was free; for no one in their society would ever think of anything worth saying.

I often wonder what it would be like if meat grew on trees and we had to kill vegetables before consumption. And if so would Megans & Meatarians be still annoying?

Who ever said we had free speech?

We certainly like reminding the Germans about the war; however, we seemed to have learned the least from it.

Do we? I would consider it an unforgivable impertinence.

I wonder why no one mentions the Corsican dwarf?

It's unfair to pick on those who are vertically challenged.

Also didn't the Roman Empire last a while before it imploded?

Was it the Beckhams?

[WTFH]

And what did the Romans ever do for us?

Apart from building that very useful wall, of course.

Does Trump know about them?

Shame he did not build one on the way to Wales.
