Very good article, Carol. Orwell's dictatorship rolls on, barely noticed as it extends its control. Unlike Orwell's vision, however, it is driven by centralized corporate power, not centralized socialism. A plutocracy, in fact. Orwell wrote about what he knew about best, but he hadn't seen this. You can control people very effectively with media and marketing, and that is what is being done in the name of "freedom". Its purpose is to destroy freedom.
