This all is beginning to remind me of Orwell:<BR/><BR/><I>O'Brien held up his left hand, its back towards Winston, with the thumb hidden and the four fingers extended.</I><BR/><BR/><I>'How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?'</I><BR/><BR/><I>'Four.'</I><BR/><BR/><I>'And if the party says that it is not four but five -- then how many?'</I><BR/><BR/><I>'Four.'</I><BR/><BR/><I>The word ended in a gasp of pain. The needle of the dial had shot up to fifty-five. The sweat had sprung out all over Winston's body....</I> <BR/><BR/><I>'How many fingers, Winston?'</I><BR/><BR/><I>'Four.'</I><BR/><BR/><I>The needle went up to sixty.</I><BR/><BR/><I>'How many fingers, Winston?'</I><BR/><BR/><I>'Four! Four! What else can I say? Four!'</I><BR/><BR/>...<BR/><BR/><I>'You are a slow learner, Winston,' said O'Brien gently.</I><BR/><BR/><I>'How can I help it?' he blubbered. 'How can I help seeing what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four.'</I><BR/><BR/><I>'Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.'</I>Dr.Dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00416571487451925246noreply@blogger.com
