The Corruption of Socialist Ideals in the Soviet Union\nAnimal Farm is most famous in the West as a stinging critique of the history and rhetoric of the Russian Revolution. Retelling the story of the emergence and development of Soviet communism in the form of an animal fable, Animal Farm allegorizes the rise to power of the dictator Joseph Stalin. In the novella, the overthrow of the human oppressor Mr. Jones by a democratic coalition of animals quickly gives way to the consolidation of power among the pigs. Much like the Soviet intelligentsia, the pigs establish themselves as the ruling class in the new society.The struggle for preeminence between Leon Trotsky and Stalin emerges in the rivalry between the pigs Snowball and Napoleon. In both the historical and fictional cases, the idealistic but politically less powerful figure (Trotsky and Snowball) is expelled from the revolutionary state by the malicious and violent usurper of power (Stalin and Napoleon). The purges and show trials with which Stalin eliminated his enemies and solidified his political base find expression in Animal Farm as the false confessions and executions of animals whom Napoleon distrusts following the collapse of the windmill. Stalin’s tyrannical rule and eventual abandonment of the founding principles of the Russian Revolution are represented by the pigs’ turn to violent government and the adoption of human traits and behaviors, the trappings of their original oppressors.\nAlthough Orwell believed strongly in socialist ideals, he felt that the Soviet Union realized these ideals in a terribly perverse form. His novella creates its most powerful ironies in the moments in which Orwell depicts the corruption of Animalist ideals by those in power. For Animal Farm serves not so much to condemn tyranny or despotism as to indict the horrifying hypocrisy of tyrannies that base themselves on, and owe their initial power to, ideologies of liberation and equality. The gradual disintegration and perversion of the Seven Commandments illustrates this hypocrisy with vivid force, as do Squealer’s elaborate philosophical justifications for the pigs’ blatantly unprincipled actions. Thus, the novella critiques the violence of the Stalinist regime against the human beings it ruled, and also points to Soviet communism’s violence against human logic, language, and ideals.

Idiot scientist. If he were a genius he would have figured out the crabby paddy ingredients by now.\n\nI'd say he ranks at the bottom of the nemesis list being that he can't seem to go through with his plans to get a crabby patty. He's more of an nuisance than a villan.

Moonbat\n\nMoonbat is a political epithet popularized in 2002 by Perry de Havilland of Samizdata, a libertarian weblog. Contrary to some speculation, de Havilland has stated it was not originally a play on the last name of George Monbiot, a columnist for The Guardian, regardless of the fact he and Mr. Monbiot have appeared on the BBC together expressing politically opposed views. The term was originally rendered as 'Barking Moonbat', suggesting that certain issues seem to trigger a reflexive response from some people much like wolves howl at the moon (i.e. the term evokes the traditional association between the moon and insanity). It now enjoys great currency in the conservative and libertarian blogosphere as an all-purpose label for modern liberals (in the American sense of the word), war protesters, and other ideological opponents. It is similar to the epithet Idiotarian and like that term can also be applied to people anywhere on the political spectrum (for example both terms have been used to describe US conservative Pat Buchanan).\n\nAccording to de Havilland, a moonbat is "someone on the extreme edge of whatever their -ism happens to be". Adriana Cronin defines the term as "someone who sacrifices sanity for the sake of consistency". This term has long been used to describe protesters on the political Left, but was originally coined to also describe commentators on the political Right as well as certain libertarians.\n\nMoonbat has frequently been used to refer to those who believe certain conspiracy theories. Examples include those who believe that elements in the US government orchestrated the terrorist attacks of 9/11 or that these were executed under the direction of Israel.\n\nLately the term has come into wider use appearing in political cartoons, political forums, and blogs, oftentimes as "moonbat crazy".

First we put on the headphones - state of the art, real expensive kind that appeal to capitalists - and we play 24/7 Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Mark Levin, and Laura Ingraham for 30 days total. Of course we would feed you, Perfessor (nothing organic - blech!), only the finest genetically engineered beef, whilst sipping milk from the cows of the same herd. Did I mention you have to wear an Atlanta Braves jersey? Chipper Jones? Did I just hear you say uncle... Perfessor??

"Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun."\n\nTo which Burger King replied with their ad slogan of, "Have it your way!"...an obvious jab at McDonald's unwillingness at the time to allow custom food orders.\n\nFollowed closely behind by Wendy's now famous "Where's the beef!" hollered all over town by the crusty little old lady.

Far as I can tell, it's weed, garden weed, not the other weed if you're getting any ideas, processed by leeching human blood. I believe that also might have been in the book by H.G. Welles but it's been awhile since I've read it, so I don't know 100%. But why aliens are leeching of our blood to create lawn feed is beyond me.

The danger of GMO products is only for the governments of those countries that subsidize their farmers to keep them away from the big cities.\nGMOs are the answer to production costs and, therefore, hunger.\nWhat Greenpeace does not tell you is that there were only 1 billion people living on the earth in 1900. Today, only a century later, we are about 6.3 billion.\nResources don't multiply as people, so technique has to do it.\nGMOs started mostly because the pressure of those countries who give subsidies over the price, making profits disappear for those who produce crops.\nRR Soybean, the most famous GMO, for example, was obtained not by modifying the DNA chain as most people think, but adding cytoplasmic DNA, which only enters in action when needed to syntethize sulfur amino acids, so its DNA remains untouched and has no risk of developing diseases in the future as Greenies think.

So I guess you're angry... you've heard a comparison of gw bush and a potted plant, and continuously call bush a chimp.  All your input reflects these two witty (so original) broadsides.  Still SCREAMING YOUR WISDOM won't BACK IT UP.  Make specific complaints and think up your own opinions.

It is excellent sign for the business community in particular the multimillion dollar international food processing industry as they earn billions of dollars making people 'believe' that they have become so busy that they can't enjoy a decent meal with their families. A meal consisting of daal, bhaji, sabzee, chappatee or 'ublay huay chawal' (for those who would have difficulty digesting these terms, they are lintels, saute veges, vegs in combination, bread, white rice), is still the best food one can have to keep the host of illnesses of modern times. It is a vicious circle also. "Rapids" food give rise to these stressful lifestyles, artificial foods, preservatives, diseases and then the pharmaceutical giants chip in promoting their 'natural treatment' and 'herbal proven' effective 'near to nature' products. They in turn advocate 'stay near nature'. During this process only poor and innocent public, middle class with aspiring living standards gets the brunt of this onslaught of 'commercial foods'. No, its not a good sign.
