While walking to work yesterday, I came across some interesting graffiti.
"Orwell was right", it proclaimed loudly in the artist's angular magic marker scrawl. I paused to consider the state of affairs we are in right now, and concluded that he really was, as well as a downright great storyteller with a flair for incisive satire of big government.
Then I wondered how many people would understand what the graffiti meant, how many had read or even heard of Animal Farm or 1984.
It was the this thought that truly chilled me. I hunched my shoulders against the cold and hurried home.
