Good point Upstate and with street level detail, you can sit 1000's of miles away and almost be there at there same time. That hill I lived on and sledded down in 1964' sure seemed a whole lot steeper that what if looked like on Google Earth.
I'm wondering if More bought the latest cock and bull story from INGSOC in another warning about the forces of Goldstein. After reading the story and thinking about the actual processes needed for that to even work, I wondered if the Office of Security Forward Thinking is manned by a group of 12 year olds juiced up on fantasy warfare and possessing overactive imaginations. Even worse is that they think we are those same 12 year olds too.
In More's case, they may be right!
Take heart More, you're just one false flag operation away from being able to say, "I told you so!"
