It happened in places like East Germany and it is currently alive and kicking in North Korea.

.. I’m still trying to get over the fact that 1984. which I read in high school, isn’t in the future any more; it is in the past — the distant past.

I was somewhat disappointed that the Real 1984 didn’t live up to the predictions; maybe Orwell was more of a pessimist than warranted, but the world has finally caught up with him.

My new year’s resolution is to give myself a break and try to remember that just because great is better than good, it doesn’t mean good is bad. Have a happy, healthy and prosperous new year to all!

Make Good great again?
I.e., well said.

Forget 2000 – I’m still trying to get over the fact that 1984. which I read in high school, isn’t in the future any more; it is in the past – the distant past.

Happy New Year Neo. May it be beautiful, happy, healthy, and prosperous. And the same to all your readers.
