Has anyone actually READ "Brave New World?"
The more I see the face of the new American politics, left and right, the more obvious is Huxley's genius. For a man born only 30 years after the civil war, and many decades before computing, he saw such a vision of what we'd become, and why.
Back then it was a horrible science fiction scenario. Now, well, it seems as time marches on, so does our craving for dependency on state and the freedom of soma.
Pass the kool-aide. Vote Obama so we can get it done. Or McCain, if you want to postpone it just a few more years.

Brave New World is one of my favorite books. I did my senior English AP project on it.
