1984 Review

I read this book back in 1971 and have been watching it happen ever since. When I think back as to how it was when I was a child and how things are now, I see how free we really were back then. Things I loved as a child, I have stopped doing now because of Government interference. My daughter stopped riding her bike the first time I told her she had to wear a helmet. My mother taught me how to drive, all the etiquit of sharing the road and how to be cautious. I also taught my daughter but still had to put out $$$$ for her to take a driving class. She had learned more than they ever would have taught and used her to drive them around on errands. Waste of MY money and not necessary! 

Making children get vaccinations when some have proved to be damaging. Government interferance again.

Letting our schools fail. It keeps the privledged in power and offers little to the children of the non-rich.

Cloning and genome mapping are a scary reality.

Having different classes of people, some of which have severely limited human rights? Look around. You can't help but see this happening right now. What happened to all being created equally?

These things are not exactly said in the book, but if you can read between the lines, you will see how much we are heading in that direction.

This is a must read for every human on the planet. In my humble opinion.
