Notes on Survival Amid the Madness

  We live in an Orwellian dystopia, where the Thought Police constantly monitor our every word for evidence of any tendency we might have to think for ourselves.

You Want To Whine About Being Offended?
Here, Let Me Give You Something To Whine About

— by Wombat-socho Apropos of Stacy’s post on the attempt to shove the Confederate flag down the memory hole, Michael Z.
