: ) Smile, James you got to read 1984. And read Brave New World also, and then read Bellamy's Looking Backward, and so on. All neat utopia/dystopia books! : ) The parallels of 1984 to our current government are uncanny.
A Zen Buddhist who follows in the tradition of Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh but I enjoy teachings from all Buddhist traditions. In addition, I am influenced by Taoism and Secular Humanism. I am also a nature lover and live with Schizo-Affective Disorder. The blog is titled, "The Buddhist Blog" because it was all that I could think of for a name. It does not mean that somehow I think my blog is the definitive blog on Buddhism. It is not. It is one traveler's footprints and nothing more. I am not a Buddhist teacher. This blog is a journal of my humble travels as I try to follow the middle path of Buddhism. Take my hand and walk with me for awhile. I have a university degree in U.S. History with a special emphasis in African history. As well as a minor in World Geography.

Ever read George Orwell's 1984?
No way, no how, marieroshi. That book's over twenty-years old!

No, I haven't read it. I've heard it has a theme of "big brother watching" but I don't know more then this. :)

Nacho,
Yeah, I'll have to read 1984. I've read Brave New World and that was indeed a trip. I'll also add Looking Backward to my list.
