Aldous Huxley's warning from history.
Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
I read Brave New World freshman year of highschool. During biology class with Dr. Lahde, though the class itself was interesting enough. I remember thinking that, despite the book's opinion, it wouldn't be so bad if there were a place for everyone, and everyone were in his place. And now, so many years later, I find myself thinking that a life without emotion might not be so bad. Clearly, growing old hasn't brought me much wisdom.

ReplyDeleteFor my own part, I would hate to see man become a domesticated animal.
