before they were kicked out. Who kicked them out? If you go check you will see that they left because they weren't finding anything particularly interesting anymore. TP

The left still has not denied Communism is evil so what evidence can you present to people like Tiger. The college professors still wear Marxism as a badge of honor. Now they define capitalism as meaning the government should run the health care system, the energy system and rule business. They run the schools as well as deciding who should do what and they even demand mind control through drugs like Riddalin. The PC mentality that they have installed is right out of Orwell. The Brave New World that Huxley talked about is here and now and Tiger is a great example of it. "Huxley taps into, and then feeds, our revulsion at Pavlovian-style behavioural conditioning and eugenics. Worse, it is suggested that the price of universal happiness will be the sacrifice of the most hallowed shibboleths of our culture: "motherhood", "home", "family", "freedom", even "love". The exchange yields an insipid happiness that's unworthy of the name. Its evocation arouses our unease and distaste. In BNW, happiness derives from consuming mass-produced goods, sports such as Obstacle Golf and Centrifugual Bumble-puppy, promiscuous sex, "the feelies", and most famously of all, a supposedly perfect pleasure-drug, soma. As perfect pleasure-drugs go, soma underwhelms. It's not really a utopian wonderdrug at all. It does make you high. Yet it's more akin to a hangoverless tranquilliser or an opiate - or a psychic anaesthetising SSRI like Prozac - than a truly life-transforming elixir. Third-millennium neuropharmacology, by contrast, will deliver a vastly richer product-range of designer-drugs to order. " And to think that in the 60's I thought that liberals would save us from this. They brought it on. My God why did the liberals become statists?
