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!
Let’s start with her, see how she likes it!!!
Someone’s been reading 1984 too much.
WHAT THE HELL TREE DID YOU FALL OUT OF. THATS WHAT IS WRONG NOW. TOO MUCH. GOVERNMENT

And YOU should be in a COMMUNIST Country where you belong!
I can remember a time when it was quite a high honor to be called a professor. Over the past 50 years it has become a title of disgrace associated with being purveyors of socialist doctrine and absolute charlatans.
We should begin holding colleges and professors legally responsible for the irreparable mental damage that they are causing our young people.
Schools are not so much centers of learning as they are behavior conditioning camps in which children are taught to be unquestioningly obedient to authority. Since reason and morality are the death of propaganda, schools busy themselves with systematically stunting students’ ability to reason and think in moral terms. Because the government owns the propaganda camps, it’s not surprising that the beneficiary of the propaganda is almost always the government. Americans accept obvious absurdities because they were drilled into their heads, year after year, in the government propaganda camps until they became true and unquestionable.
One can only wonder what amount of exposure to socialist propaganda that it must take to replace any rational thought with deeply rooted hate and anger

They can start with you and see how you like it. There sure are some idiots who call themselves educated, and they teach our kids.
