Shades, Re: First off raymond what happened to your original message?... It was there one minute, gone the next. You have to go farther back into the thread history for the item to which you obliquely referred: Message 21420803 If that is not the one you are referring to, here's a couple other candidates: Message 21416969 Message 21409812 There's a plethora of links available on these pages. Hopefully this satisfies your request. :) *** Re: I saw william holden in 1984 have the rats eat off his face, what makes you think the same can't happen to you Um, better dental hygiene? *** Re: Raymond go watch a 1920's movie called METROPOLIS - realize you are just a cog in the machine This is a pretty common theme is Western literature. Franz Kafka for a brief period was one of my favorite authors (when I was young, impressionable and pre-New Left). His novella, "The Trial", pre-dates Winston Smith's ordeal by three decades, but deals with many of the same themes: en.wikipedia.org One of the best recitations of how we need to "just get along" with oppressive corporatism is the remarkable monologue/harangue in Paddy Chayefsky's "Network" screenplay, where the CEO of the Network lays down the law to a messianic Peter Finch. Unfortunately, I cannot find this remarkably observant and utterly satiric rendition of Corporations Uber Alles on the Net. Apparently there are limits to this Networking business. You'll just have to watch the film to see what I mean: imdb.com
