Love Carlin! Had some great views on polititions. I've been reading 1984, George Orwell. It really doesn't help my paranoia much.

"Kissing The Hag" The Dark Goddess and the Unacceptable Nature of Women - Emma Restall Orr '....Hag is not a nice word. Yet there comes a time in every woman's life when 'nice' is tedious, when 'nice' is insipid, seeping into the soul like souring milk.Indeed nice can, at times, be all that is offensive. Hag. It's a fascinating word. As I speak it aloud, the sound is as smooth as an outbreath. Aspirated, it's vowel is extended and then clipped off as if with a warning kick of death. It whispers of cold wind, of thick fog and the stench of stagnant water. It is a word robed in spider's webs, dusty and worn, unsure where to place itself on the shiny veneers of today. Lingering on the edges of life, it waits to run a broken nail down some blackboard of the soul. No, hag is not a nice word. Like princess or pole-dancer, the word quietly slips us a picture, and though for each of us the image may differ lightly, it invariably embodies all that is declared to be simply and irrefutably NOT NICE in women. This book is about her. It is about all of us....'

On the other hand, we had a Senior English class that was exclusively Science Fiction. That was fun. Still, I read 1984. It was very short, interesting, exciting sections separated by long, tedious, boring sections. I would rather read The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

I read 1984 years and years ago I thought it was boring and poorly narrated I wondered why I had bothered Farenheit 451 was much better Make Room Make Room (the book Soylent Green was based on) was even better Isaac Asimov's Caves of Steel was the best though
