But of course, no one from Colorado ever drives through Nevada. Am I the only one who see a problem with each state using their own colors for this sort of thing?

You forgot to put "talking on a cell phn" on your list

You can't actually create Newspeak
Hmmmm..... let's see...
"private security contractor"=="mercenary"
"Free Market"=="unregulated market" (they don't equate!)
"Corporation"=="person"
Confounding Socialism with centralized Stalinist (or Maoist etc.) economies and oppression.
"collateral damage"=="killing more civilians than combatants"
"Operation Iraqi Freedom"=="invading Iraq for oil and to make some politicians feel macho"
"Freedom of Religion"=="Freedom to be a conservative Christian"
"Patriot Act"=="Law that stripped most Americans of their rights"
"Cutting taxes"=="Shoveling money at the wealthy and corporations"
"Spinning a story"=="Lying"
"Spinmeister"=="Liar"[*]
"Department of Defense"=="War Department" Look how close this is to Orwell's "Ministry of Peace"!

That's just for starters. He got it right. You just need to look around.

[*] In German "Spinnen" means to tell a story or possibly a "tall tale"!

Wrong. He was as uneasy as about corporations and their "Newspeak" as he was of communist and facist oppression. I say fascist since he did fight in the Spanish Civil was for the Republicans. And he did work for BBC propaganda during WWII. "The room" in the book was numbered 101, a room in the UK Ministry of Information Orwell worked in. It was part of his inspiration for the book. And the UK was supposed to be a democracy.

As long as they get their free bread, beer, and entertainment

TV, and perhaps the internet, has become the opiate of the masses.

What Monsato needs to do is prevent their seeds from getting loose, as well as the pollen. Cross pollination should be the problem of the patent holder.

Prisoners get housing and get paid a pittance for their labor too. And they are not allowed to say "no" either. Either work or get thrown into "the hole". Without freedom to choose it is all meaningless. It also dislocates the labor market by keeping people from going to where a shortage may be.

It seems both sad and appropriate that these conditions are revealed on the Charles Dickens Bi-Centennial. That this garbage still exists is a crime. This is where unfettered Capitalism ( not a Free Market, if labor can't say no it is not a Free Market) leads to. And the Libertarians would be more than happy to have us all enslaved by the corporations.

Orwell tried to warn us. See also his work on the use of language and using it as an agent of control (Chomsky says basically the same thing).

Those aren't terrorists! Their all American gun toting freedom loving patriots! Just like McNichols and McVeigh!
