Letter to the Editor

After recently re-reading George Orwell’s “1984”, I was struck by how similar our country is today to the country in the book. Oceania’s government is a tight-knit elite that keeps its citizens in check through propaganda and fear. Our government does also.
Doesn’t it scare you that Bush has cultivated so much hate against us from around the globe?
Doesn’t it scare you that 67% of Fox News watchers, thought Saddam Hussein attacked us on 9/11?
Doesn’t it scare you that Bush was so sure of finding WMD only because the U.S. had supplied them to Iraq when they were our allies against Russia?
Doesn’t it scare you that Richard Nixon hired John O’Neill (co-author of ’Unfit for Command”) in 1971 to discredit John Kerry?
Doesn’t it scare you that Bush has lowered this country’s environmental standards to allow big business to make more profit?
Doesn’t it scare you that they were wrong about the tax cut for the wealthy creating more jobs?
Doesn’t it scare you that we are worse off, in every way, than we were when Bush ‘took’ office?

The “Ministry of Truth” is doing its job…please do yours.

Democracy should be taught by example, not by force!
