Under the current D & R Monster...what we have is similar to what was written in George Orwell's 1984.

You're a liberal aren't you Ashley? ;-)
If you're told what to think and what not to think...or just plain starved for information and education you will not enjoy wisdom. If you are not free to voice your opinion...you're not free to do much of anything.
