"Towns" lol.

X-shires are counties. It comes from the Anglo-Saxon word Scir.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

Does that mean the Allies should have left the Germans alone during WW2? After all that MP40, STG 44 or whatever German weapon on the wall is a symbol of the German democracy from 1933-1945.

So, having guns is the status quo to be accepted in the democratic belief? George Orwell's antiquated views do not serve much of a truth in today's world, besides as a far yell of the possibility of the western world turning into a number of quarreling nation-states that must police themselves to keep the large masses controllable.

If I have a gun on my wall in Greece then it doesn't mean it's a symbol of democracy. The symbol of democracy is the right of free speech, the ability to tolerate and adjust needs and wants to the greater good of a society's needs through representation.

I will agree on criticizing the current situation of many nations, and the abrupt increase in paranoia that has led spending in policing, surveillance, and counter-intelligence which has generated a number of worthy incidents, and affairs that need to be tackled.

What Orwell is referring to is revolution. Democracy is safest when the people are capable of defending it. When the people are disarmed, and the state has a monopoly on force, what is there to make sure it follows the will of the people?

You also have to consider that Orwell, like most, if not all, socialists of his day, had a huge fetish for revolutions and the idea of the poor working man rising up against the bourgeoisie.
