We will reap what we sow. Thank you very much!

Like Orwell's 1984, Huxley's Brave New World painted a dystopian world from a different point of view embodying a view toward "futurism" in which reproductive technology would produce a perfect society. Interestingly, Obama's recently mantra, "Win the Future," lends itself to a variety of interpretations. Meanwhile, we have "lost the past and present." - Grump Tue, 22 Feb 2011 05:41:54 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2011/private-totalitarianism-writ-large.html#comment-6108 A study of history teaches us that serious error can be embedded in a culture and taught as a positive good. This article should be disseminated far and wide as a counter to the misinformation that has been proclaimed as truth for too long. Matthew Hanley: Please continue to fight the good fight. I admire your courage. - Bangwell Putt Tue, 22 Feb 2011 05:19:09 +0100
