[Stewart Honsberger] [blackdeath@softhome.net] [http://blackdeath.2y.net/] "In /1984/, Huxley added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In /Brave New World/, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us." -- Neil Postman --- Msged/LNX 6.1.0 * Origin: Stewart's Echomail Node-Holder (1:229/604) .
