REPLY TO JOE | 2005-11-14
In my response to my article below on 1984 Joe Rorke wrote about his first-hand knowledge of torture and what it had done to him. He then apologized for letting go that way.
Here is my reply:
"Joe, your comment was right on the money."
"Remember I spent my life fighting the Communists, often in the third world."
"If all the liquor I drank to keep going were dropped in the ocean at once, it would take out the east coast. So when I read Orwell it is painful but also therapeutic. The same with Solzhenisyn."
