which was it? were you watching the "news" (minding other people's business) or
minding your own business? perhaps, you should have turned the TV off and
minded your own business for real.

it _is_ just some guy in Montana. are you contending otherwise?

this "Emmanuel Goldstein" seems to be some guy named Allen Lee (also owner of
superprivate.com). like Eric Corley (who i can only guess you are assuming this
guy is, with your unfoundedly disdainful and inappropriately disdainful
comment), Mr. Lee chose the name "Emmanuel Goldstein" as a pseudonym when
registering his domains with "Dotster".  wow, i guess they both must have read
George Orwell's _1984_, where Emmanuel Goldstein is an mythic revolutionary,
inspiring the protagonist Winston Smith to push past the repressive bounds of
Big Brother's society to attain a momentary a glimpse of freedom.

perhaps you should read it some day too, dumbass. i think there are even a
couple film versions, too, in case you can't bring yourself to turn off the
boob tube and pick up a book.
