This here's the way I figir it. This Boot-ta dude running things in Johannesburg read "1984" last year, and along about page 78 or 80 he figgered he'd read enough and decided to implement what he done learned. See Boot-ta learned from Orwell that the only way to really free somebody is to o-press them even more! Folks of that persuasion like that sort of high-brow, intellectual-type argument, anyways. Like my old buddy George Corley used to say, "Let's show them pointy-headed, sway-do librals what we mean!" And old Boot-ta's doing a good job of it too. Slapped on marshall-dillon law, told the press to get their South-bound ends (when facing Cairo, of course) out of town, and promised all sortsa nice reforms iffin everyone just left him alone. Atta boy, Boot-ta! We got 53 dead natives, gallons of blood, rock-foo, boycott-foo, jail-foo, armored personnel carrier chase sequences, no breasts. Drive-in award nominations for Francis Mitterand for some good chest thumping and to the army-dude that was too stupid to stay in the car and got a full-length hotfoot. Joe Bob says check it out before the revolution's over. Just in case you folks didn't notice, this is all extremely sarcastic and doesn't even represent my opinions, let alone anyone elses. -- Steve Daniels (!pyuxh!sdd) "I'm counting the smiles on the road to Utopia."
