Orwell... where are you?

Orwellian. A word that I first heard while in high school... then heard again when a co-worker remarked about how technology was leading us down a slippery road (this remark was made in 1989).

In the past five years, I have heard it repeatedly... an especially useful adjective to describe the Cheney-Bush administration.

So, it is with great earnestness that I have been looking forward to the 2008 elections...

But I viewed a video segment at You-Tube which made me pause. If we presume that the electorate installs Senator Clinton in the White House next year, the adjective "Orwellian" will surely become a word which we will use as frequently as we use "google" today...

Have a look at what the future could hold...
