Thought...

Aldous Huxley remarked in "Brave New World Revisited" that civil libertarians and nationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny fail to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions.
In "1984", Huxley added, people are controlled by the infliction of pain.  In "Brave New World" they are controlled by the infliction of pleasure.
