[QUOTE="WTJ, post: 1743431, member: 6661"] When I went to school, I was taught the meaning of the word. Now it is mostly programming changes by the practitioners. Back then, we thought Orwell was fiction, not prediction. I completely understand why someone thirty years younger would think the word meant something different. I mean absolutely NO disrespect by this statement. When I was twenty, Communism was the Evil Empire. Now it's widely accepted, like Visa card. On the other hand, the Evil Empire has been gone more than twenty years also. If you think about, maybe the Cold War wasn't such a bad thing. At least the hippie protesters could interfere with the King's travels in those days. Oh wait, those same hippies are in DC now, aren't they? [/QUOTE]
