Nobody could have said it better - and today we're seeing this in spades.

I'm not really into watches but I have to admit that the Casio in your link looks great

1984 was a warning against communism and fascism whereas Animal Farm was directed at what was going on in the USSR, so specifically…

Bahn Mi rocks but because they're getting so popular, every man and his dog is jumping on the bandwagon so you really do have to shop…

I wasn't asking what racism is (don't know where you got that notion from - certainly not from anything I wrote). I climbed it. Nobody told…
