Actually, you'd think reading 1984 would show how private ownership of guns wouldn't help if there really WAS a global (or at least one-third global three times over) conspiracy to turn you all into unquestioning slaves. I assume that the people in the books had guns in the fictional 1950's, and that didn't help, did it?

Tora: too bad he isn't as hard as Scyther. Hell, he's barely a Weedle. And I have heard from some sources that Likitung bears some resembelence to Frank.

Me? I'm Bulby.

It also shows why a powerful government is a bad thing. Once it dumbs the people down enough, they'll turn over their weapons voluntarily.

1985, by Gyorgy Dalos. Good luck finding it.

I thought the theme of 1984 was: "Life sucks, politics suck, socialism sucks, capitalism sucks, even sex sucks. I hate you."

You know, I should get a job doing this.

Burmese Days: "Hi, I'm British. God, we're a bunch of right bastards, aren't we?"

Animal Farm: "Ooh, I'd really like to punch Lenin in the face. Wouldn't you? And socialism and capitalism both still suck."

Brave New World: "The future sucks. Or does it? Hell if I know. Ooh, LSD!"
