Samurai philosopher Geroge Orwell was to have said:
All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome.
A fool may as well be a blind man.
First!!
second… damnit…
I like the quote though, its going in my AIM profile!
I thought Orwell was a socialist.
Sounds suspiciously like my blog’s theme… not that I’d accuse George Orwell of thievery.
Bubble,
He was but later came to terms with the flaws in that system as well.

“Great minds think alike and fools seldom differ”
Many people forget the last part.
I never understood how he was a socialist. I think Frank is right.
Orwell was probably a socialist, but after seeing the effects of socialism, changed his mind.
Kind of likewhat happened with Whittaker Chambers.
Kinda like how Darwin gave up on a lot of his own theories and accepted that there is a God just before he died?

Hey I was anon…
I was at the break kiosk at work when I posted that, and was to lazy to fill out my info.
And it is a nice tale, told by well meaning Christians but it is still an urban legend.
Do a Google on it, if you don’t believe me.
It’s debated., No one knows but Darwin and GOD.
