Lawmaker Loopholes-H

Think of George Orwell's Animal Farm
"All animals are equal but some claim
More equal than the other"
Out of a sow's ear
A silk purse can't be made, all the same.

Good move with Orwell, Dr. I think of Napoleon and Snowball often these days. As an aside, the reason Orwell choose 1984 as his title was that he finished it in 1948, then he died. But his thinking then was that he felt that the events could happen within the then readerships' lifetime. Sadly, at least some of them have., Regards, Gerard.
