Gosh, Magik, your choice of font color leaves a few things to be desired...

I’ve Read “Animal Farm” AND “1984” !!!!!!!!

Both several times.
Animal Farm was very deep and meaningful,
So was 1984.
I was amazed to learn though, that apparently (I don't know about now) that ,after the Cultural Revolution was over and everyone had cleared up apparantly most any Chinese citizen could go and get 1984 out of a library,
Which I didn't expect seeing how totalitarian and bad the PRC is.[/QB][/QUOTE]They were only books sheesh (and yes I have read both) Books that told a story with a moral...hardly a unique premise. I know a lot of people like to really dig deep looking for hidden meaning but god guys give it a rest.

I know it is important to share and exchange ideas, but the way some people latch onto just one persons works (wether Karl Marx or G. Orwell) is kind of distasteful, as if you cannot think for your self and need these "pillars of light" to show you the way.

I also found the questions seemed to be worded in a very .... poor (is the only word I can think of) way... some were asking questions as if the premises were mutually exclusive or as if there were no room for a middle ground.

I'd agree I find that I'm usualy to the Right of Ronald Reagan.

Im with ya Bro [img]smile.gif[/img] . I think the reason I appear so far to the left is because of the construction of the questions and I tried to be as accurate as I could with the answers...but ahhh well [img]smile.gif[/img] Im sure no one on IW would mistake me for a liberal

Dramnek liked those books. They presumably resonated to a high degree with his person. He's as entitled to what he likes and believes as you are. I don't think he ever obliged anyone to subscribe to the same tastes and beliefs as himself.

Wah!
You’re just jealous because I can Whip yo’ ass at debating.
And you submitted to my superior mastery.
Anyway, I’ve read many other authors and take in many alternate points of the spectrum of knowledge thusly, indeed it makes me all the better since I can utlise the ideas of others to aid me with their insights in forming my own.
Which makes me all the more enlighted pertaining to this situation,
What books have you read pertaining to such things?
Or did you come to your ideas from what you observed in the real world?
