A beginning reason why I have been writing in Ensign has been the unconscious motivation to understand why my family and I had to endure the social difficulties of being serially fired. We, at our home, are educated and civil and yet we had to suffer the serial humiliations to immediately hand in the keys of our offices to our employers for no civil reason. We have politicians and their corporative friends upholding the Rule of Law and yet I find out that they are the ones who break and change the laws on their behalf. I have to shake my head in disbelief for at a time when the private contract is insufficient to protect the lives of ordinary people, we have the further privatisation of public services and as a consequence the privatisation of the Rule of Law.

This past Wednesday, I was disappointed to learn that writer Stevie Cameron has been declared an informer for the RCMP and that writer John Ralston Saul and his wife Governor General Adrienne Clarkson are being probed for their latest expensive ‘circumpolar tour.’ In the past, I shared some personal information with Stevie Cameron, and I wrote some articles about the works of John Ralston Saul. The social principle which comes repetitively to my mind is the so called "walk your talk," that is, the civil responsibility to get along and speak a commonly understandable language.

I have alluded in previous articles to the deterioration of language and in this respect, I mentioned George Orwell’s reductionist language Newspeak.

On Wednesday, I had a good laugh as I visited the web site STUDENTS FOR AN ORWELLIAN SOCIETY. These students equate the threat of our deteriorating language and laws to the threat of increasing terrorism. This Orwellian society, in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security, has created the Newspeak traffic lights equivalent to the terrorist traffic lights created by the Department of Homeland Security. The states of the deteriorating language Newspeak have been defined Doubleplusgood (equivalent to terrorist Severe), Plusgood (equivalent to terrorist High), Good (equivalent to terrorist Elevated), Ungood (equivalent to terrorist Guarded) and Doubleungood (equivalent to terrorist Low). Doubleplusgood is also defined as the ultimate state of the residual Newspeak language when the Rule of Law represses any surfacing civil liberty.

Wednesday’s state of the language Newspeak is Good. We had one day temporary set back with last Gray Tuesday’s protest against the music industry’s copyright cartel, however we enjoyed another copyright victory as the copying of DVD discs has been judged illegal. Also, the terrorist state of security is Elevated and will progressively approach the ultimate state Severe as CIA director George Tenet has confirmed the rising threat of future terrorist attacks by Al Qaida.
