   "Greed denotes desire to acquire wealth or possessions beyond the needs   
   of the individual, especially when this accumulation of possession   
   denies others legitimate needs or access to those or other resources."   
   --Wikipedia   
      
   "Newspeak is closely based on English but has a greatly reduced and   
   simplified vocabulary and grammar. This suits the totalitarian regime of   
   the Party, whose aim is to make any alternative thinking   
   ('thoughtcrime') or speech impossible by removing any words or possible   
   constructs which describe the ideas of freedom, rebellion and so on. One   
   character says admiringly of the shrinking volume of the new dictionary:   
   'It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.' "
