[tc] Dai, anche un po' di verità su Machiavelli

[167_]

beh , a questo punto , visto che siam sulla lista di no1984 , potremmo
anche citare un pezzo del libro di orwell ...
"O'Brien had turned himself a little in his chair so that he was facing
Winston. He almost ignored Julia, seeming to take it for granted that
Winston could speak for her. For a moment the lids flitted down over his
eyes. He began asking his questions in a low, expressionless voice, as
though this were a routine, a sort of catechism, most of whose answers
were known to him already. 
'You are prepared to give your lives?' 
'Yes.' 
'You are prepared to commit murder?' 
'Yes.' 
'To commit acts of sabotage which may cause the death of hundreds of
innocent people?' 
'Yes.' 
'To betray your country to foreign powers?' 
'Yes.' 
'You are prepared to cheat, to forge, to blackmail, to corrupt the minds
of children, to distribute habit-forming drugs, to encourage
prostitution, to disseminate venereal diseases -- to do anything which
is likely to cause demoralization and weaken the power of the Party?' 
'Yes.' 
"
