I often find the need to re-open old threads because too often new threads by me got moved into Anything Goes due to their association with 'conspiracy'

It specificly states '12 major routes'. Do they really think terrorists will take those routes if they don't want to be found?

Bit of a freudian thing -completely off-thread, Less. The four "Noses" -when do they change? Not that they bother me, of course.

Spring is on it's way -am thinking Easter Bunnies, bells, chocolate eggs, bows. Blue bell woods, daffodils...if you want to get more profoundly involved with my though processes...


Summer is on it's way...

It transpires that Orwell arranged for Huxley to be sent a copy of his book, and recently a letter has surfaced which Huxley sent to Orwell in which he commented on it.

You can read the letter here
Letters of Note: 1984 v. Brave New World

A cartoon has been drawn to illustrate the main differences between their visions of future.
You will find it here (need to 'expand +' to read it)

It seems that both versions of 'future' were right to some extent.
In Brave New World they have a drug called Soma which makes people hallucinate and go on a holiday in their heads!
