    There's a war on language now. Sitting on my shelf at my desk, no more than about 5 feet away from me right now, is a copy of 1984... If you haven't read it since high school, now's the time to read it again...

    These SJWs are huffy about freedom and want to get rid of any idea of a master slave relationship. If I worked in computers I'd keep using the words.

    Mental disease knows no limits.
