Because sometimes work is more fun than it should be.

While i was testing a bug issue today, i came across the file notes that were to be inserted into the display of a completely different file. Neat stuff, but not something that really strikes one with any measure of hilarity or anything. Then i read the text:

Students for an Orwellian Society is proud to co-sponsor a book collection activity wherein copies of the prophetic novel 1984 will be sent to members of the U.S. House and Senate who voted for the plusgood bill, the Military Commissions Act. This offers the Innner Party members a token of our thanks for their good work and guidance for their future activities. The Ministry of Love is organizing the project.

This is not a joke; Students for and Orwellian Society is quite real, and updating with a plusgood passion.

1. Loyalty.
2. Forbearance: self-control towards others.
3. Hardihood.
4. Generosity: not just a simple matter of giving away what one has, but "Largitas in a man caused him to set no store on greed or gifts, and to have nothing but contempt for bribes."
5. Benevolence. The Davidic ethic: It is the strongest quality of the preudomme - benevolence of the strong toward the weak.
6. Honor: honor is achieved by living up to the ideal of the preudomme and pursuing the qualities and behavior listed above.

7. Championship: everywhere and always be the champion of the Right and the Good against Injustice and Evil.
