To tell deliberate lies       while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become       inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it       back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the       existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the       reality which one denies -- all this is indispensably necessary..."       -- 1984              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
