When my son was 12, I bought him a hard-back illustrated edition of 1984. Basically one of those comic-novel things (can't remember what you call them). Wasn't sure he'd get in to it, but I hoped.

Sure enough, he blazed right through it, and then came to me and started drawing parallels to what's going on today. I was impressed. He's 15 now and our discussions have grown considerably.

If you have a young kid, get one of these ... graphic novels (that's what you call them) and turn them loose. If I can find more for Strange New World and Animal Farm, I'm grabbing them. Not just for my son but for his kids.

Books fortelling what happens when you let the weak run things? NO Way.

Wait until they hear about brave new world. Oh, wait... That is what they want isn't it?

I assume the 'right-wing' would be considered the Humans and the left wing are Orks?

Bilbo, Aslan, Winston & Marlow are White Supremes. The Brits have lost the bloody plot.

I can't even watch Lord of the Rings anymore because it makes me so angry. Watching the nice, peaceful societies get invaded by hordes of orcs is very similar to what's going on in the West today.

oh nice I see they're still trying to push "slavery lite" rules.

we're lightyears past the point where the government is so corrupt it openly tries to ingnore, over-right or bulldoze over the constitution.

Yes. Right Wing Extremism is normal human decency, common sense, and Christian morals.

Where does The Hobbit figure into this?
