Bob, interesting points. I think part of the issue is the belief you can't change anything. Certainly 1984 is an exaggeration of all of that, but what fascinates me is even in the face of blatant truth the human mind can be twisted and corrupted to believe those falsehoods. I read that book and at the end thought, well shoot, I'd probably do the same thing. Pretty scary.
