mom2bugnbee That's a fantastic equation right there. 7y
tpixie @mom2bugnbee I think so too! We should have it on our walls at home, school, & work! 7y
vivastory It's a good equation for individual life. It's problematic though when the government dictates what citizen's responsibilities are. 7y

KimHM Exactly, @vivastory. I took this as a allusion to the Party Slogans in 1984. 7y
tpixie @vivastory interesting - yes, esp with a dictatorship- our 3 branches of government, while not perfect, can help prevent this. Glad for democracy!! @KimHM (edited) 7y
PatternsOnWalls Wow! I agree, too! I'm a teacher and this is essentially what we try to teach our students every day. 7y
tpixie @PatternsOnWalls ❤️📚❤️ love our teachers!! 7y
KimHM But *in the context of THIS novel* this is clearly a totalitarian slogan. The sign is in a prison. The president pictured is from the only available party. That's the problem with abstract sound-bites, they can be taken to mean anything you want. @tpixie @vivastory @mom2bugnbee @PatternsOnWalls 7y
PatternsOnWalls @KimHM Very true. I've no idea what this book is about, but now you have me intrigued so I'll definitely be shelving this one 👌🏽 7y
tpixie @KimHM yes in this book world, they are setting the equation up differently. 7y
