Orwell's Foreshadowing

This topic has peaked my interest, obviously, as two posts in one day is unprecidented with me. Thanks to Blake (Blake's Eyes) for the link:

Gizmodo - "Real ID Act Approved by House of Representatives"

When I was in eighth grade, I wanted to do ANYTHING but read the books that were required in English class. As I get older, I increasingly appreciate being forced to read 1984 by George Orwell. I'm thinking about sending a copy to George Bush, maybe redoing the cover with a parenthetical underneath the title something like "Bush's Guide to the Future."

Boo to the "Real ID Act," but props to "markgm" whose comments inspire me to think we actually have a future. Microwaves unite!
