orwell still matters.

http://www.cod.edu/1984/orwell.htm

check out the lecture by a surprisingly sober christopher hitchens on why george orwell still matters.

and i believe it will stream on dial-up bill, you steam-age freak.

Interesting lecture given by Hitchens. The one after it looks even more fascinating (of course, probably because it deals with Americanization).

yeah, chris is a particular favorite of mine, not so much because of his beliefs, because he`s shown how plastic they are, but for his prowess in debate.

he openly admits that it matters not what the facts are in debate but that you argue your point.

and i love it when he has a go at the likes of mother teresa or bill clinton.....
