Like the rest of you, I'm all for calling a spade a spade if that's what it is. a kid is never going to learn how to tell the truth nor to be honest, as well as eventually becoming incapable of ever being able to keep his word to anyone as long as the politically correct keeps on forcing the rest of us to live as if it were 1984. See, I read the book as well when in high school, and even then it struck me that the events in 1984 were already being played out in real life. Another interesting book people should take a gander at is Brave New World. The authors of the books, as I was once told, had written them with the intention of warning people about the dangers of letting governments or any other special interest groups take too much control of even the smallest part of a persons life. In time, a person eventually wakes up & realizes that they've lost their freedom & a whole host of other things as well.
