I have picked up a large number of Seussisms in the past year.              >Trimming the language to fewer select words smacks of 1984(yes,the Orwellian 1984,not the nostalgic 23 year old 1984:)                                    Orwell had such a great idea with Newspeak,I regret that he included it in his dystropian 1984.That was double ungood on his part.Notice the Newspeak guy himself wasent evil in 1984.He was a guy with a creative idea,who suffered for it>                                                         < Ah,Spike.I dont see how you can "link up"anything about Dr. Seuss with the George Orwell book 1984.I was brought up on Dr. Seuss books and I find no simalaraties between "Seussisms"and that novel.Even in the case o
f the Dr. Seuss book called "The Lorax".Of course the "Morals"of pretty much all of the Dr Seuss books have a pretty profound meanning(thats why I enjoyed his books so much).Exactly what is it that I am missing here?And what exactly are the "Morals" and Motives behing the 1984 novel anyways?
