It’s a new year, which really means nothing at all.
“The thought police would get him just the same. He had committed–would have committed, even if he had never set pen to paper–the essential crime that contained all others in itself.

You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you.” – George Orwell, 1984
