>...I certainly >do remember what happened to Winston, that is the point of the whole story. >Bill Bremmer RPT Dear Bill, List, Please understand, Bill, that I am not in disagreement with your premise that people do have the right and ability to question things. However, the point of the whole story of _1984_ is that Winston *did do* such a thing, believing he could get away with defying Big Brother (the controlling authority), and he *did not* succeed. Therefore, using _1984_ to support your position is antithetical. That's all. Maybe _The Fountainhead_ by Ann Rand, or some other literary piece would serve your thesis, but not _1984_. >I must admit I forget what happened to Julia.

O'Brian, the rats, "Do it to Julia.", the Chestnut Tree Café, drinking Victory Gin and playing chess, "I love Big Brother". >I'm sure Glad that PTG has not yet gone to the point of officially dictating >ET as the only acceptable and/or *permissible* way to tune the piano the way >the Luthier Guild has gone on record for the guitar. I can't really ever imagine that happening. From the folks I have met in the Piano Technicians Guild (PTG) over the years, PTG, as an association, has always managed to move forward, for the most part, towards a less oppresive entity, and towards a more enlightened state of being. I have complete confidence that realized awareness in the individual members of the PTG will always prevail over any temporal, tyrannical proclamations made by a few.
