...enjoy some of the ideas of "2024." Rall is smart and intuitive in a vicious sort of way. His running gag of business minutiae as the new entertainment feels dead on. Likewise it's funny when Winston reacts to Channel 101 being "the worst thing in the world," with that meaningless, fully-corpratized hipster catchphrase, "That's cool." But the book lacks the central values of human decency which made it matter that Winston Smith of "1984" came to scrawl "2+2=5" into the dust of his cafe table...
...really? What do Andrew, 15, and Caroline, 11, deserve? A Dad who trashes their mother? After Giuliani's estranged wife Donna Hanover asked a judge to bar Nathan from visiting Gracie Mansion, the official residence (where the family still lives), and argued against a gag order in the case, Giuliani unleashed his lawyer Raoul Felder. Starting on Mother's Day, no less, Felder called Hanover an "uncaring mother" who stayed in a dead marriage for "twisted motives."

...name also made artistic and pragmatic sense. The comic book medium of the time consisted entirely of superheroes and gag books. Furthermore, these books had positioned themselves (and we live with this legacy today) as a childish treat akin to toy cars and baby dolls. How then to fit in works that were similar-looking but contained copulating, dope-smoking hippies and motorcycle club beat-downs? The answer was, and remains: You don't. You call it something else. So "comix" was born, or more accurately, evolved, just as the medium...
Therefore, when these supposedly liberal organizations try to restrict the rights of artists such as Eminem, they gag on their own hypocrisy. Ironically, Eminem is a poster-boy of modern liberalism. Organizations such as NSVRC or GLAAD are in effect saying that the public is too stupid to form an intelligent (read: correct) view on the subject, so it needs to be protected. Meanwhile, Eminem upholds his freedom, even in his lyrics: "Cuz every time I want a rhyme/these people think it's a crime/to tell 'em what's on my mind--I guess I'm a criminal...
