1984
We've heard the horror stories in the past about "thought crimes" etc. Somehow I always put them in the context of thinking revolutionary thoughts or thinking criminal thoughts. Either way, you get stuck in a dingy Russian prison, right?
Dr. Helen's column is frightening. She's following a discussion concerning making "thought crimes" delusional. Oh, that must be far better than criminal. Then you can just drug them out of existence!
"Doctors who treat inmates at the California State Prison outside Sacramento concur: They have diagnosed some forms of racist hatred among inmates and administered antipsychotic drugs."
