My co-worker’s brother – who also works on campus – was the designated driver to Chipotle yesterday. On the way back, I saw some graffiti on the wall of a building near some train tracks. We went past it too quickly for me to see what all was written there, but I saw enough to want to investigate.
So, after work, I drove over to a parking lot near that wall and located the text. Here’s what it said:
War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength
Orwell you were so right
Well, duh. I was hoping for something more insightful than that. If you’re going to go to the trouble of defacing a building with an intellectual quote (instead of, say, “kilroy was here”) – then you should either leave it as it stands or add to it in the spirit of the original writer. What is this? Youtube?
Disappointing.
