The Op might have been referring to this. Not sure though?

Maybe there is a message there, but you have to be psychic to see it

I can't understand how come nobody can see it. It's there. Just look inside the square box

They do not want to see it. It does not fit their world view.

Glad he's wrong about the demise of the sex instinct and orgasm.

There is too much violence and grief in the world, I prefer a message from Oliver Hardy.

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.
George Orwell.
I think this quote belongs in the BDSM section.

We all know that Orwell warned us about becoming oppressed to death. However, I think history has borne out the prediction of Aldous Huxley. He warned us about becoming distracted to death.
Neil Postman wrote a book about it in 1985, long before we all got caught in the web. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amusing_Ourselves_to_Death The library has the original and the 20th anniversary edition.

When it comes to debating policy, the newspaper is your friend. The TV screen is not.

Depends. When it comes to liberal democracies, I would say Huxley's predictions were closer to the mark.

However, Orwell's predictions about totalitarian regimes also had merit.

Bingo, maybe not in our lifetime, but it is coming.

If there is a single University track Canadian or American secondary school student over the past fifty-five years who hasn't read it I'll be quite surprised.

However, both Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and Orwell's own Animal Farm are in my opinion better novels.

Yeah, read them all in high school. 1984 was my favourite of the 3.

My old dog pretty much ate my copy of Animal Farm. The only book she ever did that to - I think she was trying to make a statement.

Yeah, I didn't even get angry with her. She made me proud.
