Read a Book You Semi-Literate Loser #3: Fahrenheit 451
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
If you haven't read this book yet, then I have two things to say to you.
1)Shame on you.
2)Shame on you.
Even in 1953 Bradbury saw the possibility that assholes might eventually be running things and published this novel. This book is about what might happen if we continue to let the tiny-brained political correctness police continue tell us how we should be thinking. From his afterward:
"For it is a mad world and it will get madder if we allow the minorities, be they dwarf or giant, orangutan or dolphin, nuclear-head or water-conservationist, pro-computerologist or Neo-Luddite, simpleton or sage, to interfere with aesthetics. The real world is the playing ground for each and every group, to make or unmake laws. But the tip of the nose of my book or stories or poems is where their rights end and my territorial imperatives begin, run and rule."
This book has taught me a valuable lesson (listen up sorority and fraternity types) THINK FOR YOURSELF LITTLE SHEEP.
WARNING FOR CRETINS: Please pay attention here. There is actually a lesson that is being taught in this book. Yes, I know, the sections about setting fires and the old lady being burned up are very amusing and make you squirm and giggle like a ticklish three year old, but pay attention and you might actually gain something akin to an insight.
