..., no the acme, of a great orchestral piece...Or perhaps a big budget horror movie, I don't know really. Maybe
"Scary Movie: Attack of the Wolfowitzs"?

I see these insane neo-cons, PNAC supporters all, to be the true emergence of the overt control of American Oligarchy over all aspects of our Society. The covert Plutocrats must be appalled...I'm no fan of them either but at least they gave the impression that this country was a Democracy, game effort at that.

So many great authors predicted, what we may be seeing the beginning of now, American Fascism. I remember one quote, can't remember the author though, that went something like this: "It was always accepted that the iron boot of fascism would step on America, how could it not do so? Little did anyone guess that it'd keep landing in Europe". OK I just mangled that, anyway.

Orwell, London, Lewis all wrote dystopic novels, each in their own style of course, and years apart too, so instead of taking a quote from each I'll grab the one that sums our potential dangers very, very, well...

"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot
stamping on a human face - for ever."


George Orwell
<1984>

OK...Let's hope not. We ought to be developing...No...No polemics. I'll leave it at that.
