    I’m so glad I’m a Beta – I don’t have to do all that thinking and managing. I’m so glad I’m a Beta.

    I don’t believe that Ray Bradbury’s “Farenheit 451” was ever banned, but it always struck me as odd in both the book and the movie that there was a glaring error that no one seemed to catch.
    .
    The populace was literate.
    .
    They were able to read and understand the pictographs that were part of their everyday lives. And those pictographs would eventually evolve.
    .
    I cite the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages as easy examples. The written portion of these languages are pictographs.

    Sure, but if you have an ad for Denham’s Dentifrice blaring at you, how can you concentrate on anything?

    I noticed that most of the banned books have one thing in common — ordinary people being oppressed by a tyranical government.

    “Control issues” covers even more, plus it describes the attitude of the sort that bans books.

    I re-read BNW a couple of years ago, Animal Farm too. That kind of saterical fantasy was my favorite reading back in HS. I was just 75 last week and making more plans with my lover ;-D

    I saw the 1998 TV-movie version of Brave New World, and I liked the way it showed the similarities between Huxley’s vision and our modern world. Anyone else seen it?
