Chocolate rations are up!

On this day sixty years ago, George Orwell's classic dystopian novel 1984 was first published.



I usually don't read fiction, but this book is a classic. It's oft-quoted and referenced in politics and pop culture. The title of this post is one of my favorite quotes from the book...The Party's method of brainwashing people through propaganda is sickening (and kinda funny.)

With totalitarian governments still in existence around the world, the novel is still relevant.
