that's right. national geographic has a special on dolphins titled "Dolphins: The Wild Side" that i forced myself to stay up to watch last night. if you happen to catch it, it talks about how these evil creatures hunt poor little helpless anchovies, how the males pack together to dolphin-nap females, and how killer whales, yes, they're dolphins, eat other dolphins. see, they're cannibals. they're evil creatures. must go to anti-dolphin.org...

1984
George Orwell's 1984 is a warning of what can happen if we give up our freedom and individuality and let ourselves be controlled by government.
Newspeak
ownlife: individualism, eccentricity.
goodthinker: to know, without taking thought, what is true belief or the desirable emotion.
crimestop: the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding of the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. Protective stupidity.
blackwhite: applied an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction to the plain facts. Applied to a Party member, it means a loyal willingnes to say that black is white when Party discipline demands this. But it means also the ability to believe that black is white, and more, to know that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary.
doublethink: in Oldspeak, "reality control." The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.
latest teachings... Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious. -George Orwell, 1984
song lyric/quote of the moment... I understand HOW: I do not understand WHY. -George Orwell, 1984
WAR IS POWER
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.

HORRORSCOPE FOR WED JUNE 2, 2004
If you've felt sluggish lately, amy, consider what you've been eating and your habits. Skipping meals, over-eating or indulging in too much junk food and sweets can really take its toll on your body. You may be in need of some essential nutrients. Eat some greens today and if your patterns are erratic, start on some vitamins. The saying, 'you are what you eat', is pretty much the reality of it all. Take care of your health.
