When I read '1984' I admired the George Orwell very much for his creative thinking, his brilliant mind to make the plot this thick and full of personal tension.

When I read 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' I had similar thoughts, how incredible this screen writer coming up with these ideas.

Then I moved to the United States and within a year I encountered '1984' and 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' myself.

Naturally, it happened at a very subtle level. But that subtle level did not exist where I grew up. I had never experienced the repression before. Plus, it was very subtle.

I now recognize that the Anglo voting system is at the root of it all. Winner-take-all is a system mixing good with evil and that crawls under your skin and ends up deforming people, society, culture.

Red blames Blue, Blue blames Red, because there is no Yellow to paint a full-colored picture so no one sees the plain truth.

Only political reform can lead this nation away from its two-party madness. People clinging to good cop because bad cop is bad are still brainwashed people in this Anglo system part of the world.

The Founding Fathers were smarter than this, but the subsequent people were not as smart as the Founding Fathers. There is a pathway to get away from the two-party system without having to change the US Constitution.
