pigs in zen "The C.I.A., it seems, was worried that the public might be too influenced by Orwell's pox-on-both-their-houses critique of the capitalist humans and Communist pigs. So after his death in 1950, agents were dispatched (by none other than E. Howard Hunt, later of Watergate fame) to buy the film rights to "Animal Farm" from his widow to make its message more overtly anti-Communist."
lyrics
i prefer that song too but i was thinking specifically of the cia. they almost seem like a benign source now compared to the criminals that run the republican party.
Soon or late the day is coming
Tyrant man shall be o'erthrown
And the fruitful fields of England
Shall be trod by beasts alone....
to be sung to the melody of Clementine OR La Cucaracha; is that hilarious or what. Orwell, twerp. But the book persists in my mind like I read it yesterday like Lord of the Flies. Man, was anyone as weird in eighth grade as me as to be a devotee of Leon Trotsky ? Who had at least one thing in common with the Shah of Iran. Anyone ? Along with youth...
