Orwell & Nineteen Eighty-Four

[s~Z]

>>>Funny how the reviewers who have written about
Pynchon's foreward to _1984_ don't have any trouble
understanding his references to the Bush
Administration's fascistic response to 9-11. I guess
they got the special copies of the book that included
a secret decoder ring. <<<

Why do use an appeal to authority like this as an argument? I thought you
were of the mindset to always question authority and the consensus view of
things, no?
