got the idea this morning and could not wait to do it.
I know others have done the whole 1984/v for vengence lack of privacy thing, but i wanted to focus more on the language changes/thoughtcrimes that would occur.
We already see laguage changes with the use of "to google" to mean "to search the internet" and "freedom and democracy" to mean "invasion and war".
I think Eric Blair, no relation, was quite prophetic.
