1984 in 2009

It seems as though the P.P.P will never learn and I personally believe that it's because they don't have the capacity to. Recently, because of their peeping eyes and vindictive policies, livinguyana, a source of all things true and pertinent to Guyana, was forced close. Further, party loyalist and members continued on a campaign to mischaracterize the site and its bloggers. What is wrong with all of this is that, this was a blog site and bloggers are free to write within the usage policies set out in the agreement between them, the blogger and the host, in this case google.

This leads me to believe that George Orwell's classic book, 1984, is the policy reference of the Peoples Progressive Party. Why else would they want to silence free taught and expression of same, if not to control the information that the people receive? No other regime in the world, well apart from Robert Mugabe's of Zimbabwe, is this controlling. I hope the next time the President goes on one of his State sponsored vacations (sorry official visits) he opens his eyes to the real world. People seek information and the more they are in the know the better the society.
