(This person is kinda upset that I dissed their favorite browser. I actually use Chrome and I like it, but for some reason the layout here is different than on Firefox. And of course, the iPad and IE just plain suck. You tool.)

Orwell v. Huxley

A good contrast of the views of George Orwell (1984) and Aldous Huxley (Brave New World). I had known Orwell's stance but not Huxley's, even though I read BNW in high school. Basically, Orwell thought that what we feared would destroy us, while Huxley said what we loved would destroy us. I guess I'm more of a Huxley person, but if you lived in North Korea and you had the least bit of intellect, you'd probably be more in line with Orwell's opinions.
