For the record, if you ever read this, Young sister, your lips are perfect for you. They are beautiful on you, but they don't define you and anyone who thinks they do is just peeping their shallowness to you. They aren't DSL unless you choose for them to be so, and your choice either way is in your control.

YouTube has made it easier for people to express themselves in a way that almost guarantees responsiveness from an otherwise apparently unconcerned world. No one wants to cry out in the wilderness, everyone wants their voice to be heard. We'll eventually get a handle on this higher level communication tool and all the other tools that are being provided by technological advances.; Jan 9, 2009, 11:54:00 AM

I didn't take it that way.

I was actually impressed with the sister. I saw a well evolved self-affirming, reflective young women with healthy self-esteem.

Actually, I saw a potentially great young writer.

If she put those words on paper and sold them - she'd be hailed a creative hero.; Jan 9, 2009, 11:58:00 AM

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"
