(1,357 posts)I was looking for something appropriate from Dr. Strangelove but came across this rather eerie quote from 1961 instead:
Twilight Zone (1959 TV Series)
Episode: The Obsolete Man (1961)
You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super States that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace...

(6,114 posts)I remembered the episode, but was surprised the character's first name was Romney.
I was astounded when I looked up the relative popularity of Romney as a first name. The online sites claim is similar in popularity to names like Jonathan, Roger, Adam, and Jerry. I have known quite a few people with those other names, but never anyone whose name was Romney.
