If you’ve never read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, you should, especially if your view of the world today is as tainted as my own about government intrusion, overreach and oppression. I’m not gonna lie and tell you it’s an easy read. At times, it is a ponderous work chock full of long descriptive passages that rival Tolkien’s environmental depictions in Middle Earth. The work, though, does come full circle literally to a single sentence near the end of the novel (and you can’t simply skip to the end to appreciate the enormity of the subject matter or its intent), but the fact is that after reading this novel, you’ll have a much clearer understanding of why government is the way it is, why it feels compelled to remain that way, despite heavy opposition from the voting public, and why the government, like a cornered animal, will lunge outward at its attackers and fight any way it deems necessary to ensure its survival.
There are easier reads. Animal Farm and 1984 by George Orwell or Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Or if you’re the movie type of person, The Purge, Gattaca, The Giver or Logan’s Run. All of these are superb examples of government power gone seriously awry while the rights of the individual have been forever altered to non-sequiturs in the mainstream thought.
Recently, another Orwellian nasty has been propagating the insistence that government is far superior in judgment of who should be parents and who should not. More precisely, this law professor is insisting that government should actually, literally choose which parent receives which baby! Read more of this astounding level of arrogance on the next page!
Idiots
Educated idiot
I think the key to this craziness is “Harvard Law Prof”….I’m not a big fan of HARVARD from the articles I’ve seen coming out people from that place….it’s a bunch of idiot Liberals…that think they are the smartest and best, and they know better than anyone else on the planet what we all should do with our lives, and how, and when and just give them control and we’ll all be much happier. I agree with below, we need to purge the schools, and get some normal people in there, and leave the government out of it all. The Harvard bunch thinks that the GOV. can do a better job than we can, as parents….Hell’s Bells, Congress can’t even agree on a bill, much less how you raise kids! Love and caring are the most important things a kid needs, and the GOV. isn’t made for THAT!!
She better restudy the us constitution
CW II may happen … idiots like this will lose … along with media and schools, unfortunate “resetting” of these industries/professions will have to occur … sad but true …
Nut job!
A true Communist, just like Bernice Sanders
Yes, it really is time to purge the evil out of academia
Go to hell.
Harvard, uh huh!!
