I was wondering the same thing. I don't get the title of this thread. GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Originally Posted by GoreBag

In animal farm, some of the elite animals are allowed privileges that the rest of the animals are not allowed. One rule for the ruling animals and another rule for the others.I was wondering the same thing. I don't get the title of this thread. GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The liberal elite are allowing themselves privileges that the rest of us, are being asked to cut back on. So one rule for the elite liberals and another for the rest of us.
The title is from a quote in the book.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
-- John Stewart Mills
But from the absolute will of an entire people there is no appeal, no redemption, no refuge but treason.

Read teh Animal Farm, maing.
Re: All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others
Ohhh, I see now. In that case, it's common sense. People in charge get to do whatever they want and there's nothing you can do about it.
Re: All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others
How about something original, and not using someone's work as a crutch? And Orwell was a socialist.

So we need to screen out any opinions or literature that doesn't coincide with our comfortable world-view?And Orwell was a socialist.

Re: All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others
The idea that somehow Orwell won't cut it for me and that I need a leftist in order to like the allusion. Orwell was a leftist. Maybe that helps you?Maybe Chomsky would be better appreciated by Kanamori...
and
I didn't know where it came from, jackass.Well said!

Until being insulted, I was only expressing my annoyance with the overuse of Orwell.
