   Can someone explain to me the profundity of the Party's solgans in 1984? I   
   ken the novel quite intimately, although I'm not sure why they got the   
   attnetion they deserve. "Ignorance is strength" sounds like a "deliberate   
   exercise in doublethink", alright. I get the jist of it, but what else do   
   they all have in common? Is there a sort of rhyme and reason to all three?
